Modified Meyerhof approach for forecasting reliable ultimate capacity of the large diameter bored piles.

ABSTRACT: The static loading test is undoubtedly the most reliable method for forecasting the ultimate capacity of the large diameter bored piles (LDBP). However, in-situ loading of this class of piles until reaching failure is practically seldom due to the large amount of settlement required for shaft and base mobilization. Therefore, many international design standards recommend either capacity-based or settlement-based methods to estimate the LDBP ultimate capacity in case of the impossibility of performing loading tests during the design phase. However, those methods are invariably associated with various degrees of uncertainty resulting from several factors, as evidenced in several comparative analyses available in the literature. For instance, the settlement-based method of the Egyptian code o
