Abstract

The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is well-recognized as a tool to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of piles. Within the Hungarian physiographic territory, CPT and Static Pile Load Tests of the bored (CFA, protective tube) and driven (Franki) piles installed in different soils (gravel, sand and clay) were compared to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of piles using new formulae.
