Executive Summary | Technical standards and commentaries for port and harbor structures in Japan notes that in-situ load test is one of the estimation method of axial capacity of piles. The in-situ load test could provide more precise estimation of the axial capacity of piles at the site than various estimation equations. However, the technical standards and commentaries dose not clearly specify a procedure to derive a characteristic value of the axial capacity from the load test result. It dose not expose the partial factor for the characteristic value, either. |
