Pile Capacity via SPT Method

This document determines the pile capacity for a 450mm diameter pile using the SPT value method. It provides the borehole SPT values with depth, calculates the shaft and base resistances, and determines the short-term and long-term geotechnical capacities. The maximum pile capacity is determined to be 955kN based on a pile length of 15m from the cutoff level.
