4.3 Geotechnical design methods
In order to separate their behavioural responses to applied pile load, soils are
classified as either granular/noncohesive or clays/cohesive. The generic formulae
used to predict soil resistance to pile load include empirical modifying factors which
can be adjusted according to previous engineering experience of the
