SECTION BEARING CAPACITY OF Determination of ultimate bearing capacityThe ultimate bearing capacity of timber, precastconcrete or steel piles is most accurately determinedfrom test loading, vide Item In non-cohesive soilsthe probable bearing capacity may be deduced from oneof the dynamic pile formulae. However, many of theseare very unreliable and it is recommended that anapproximate value may be obtained from the Hileyformula in accordance with Item In cohesive soilsan approximate value of the probable bearing capacitymay be obtained by tests on soil samples in accordancewith Item Alternatively the bearing capacity ofpiles depending mainly on end-bearing resistance maybe extrapolated from the results obtained from deeppenetration tests as describ

surface area of the pile or the full weight of the soil between and around the piles, whichever is less, and should be deducted from the bearing capacity of a single
