Design verification on bored pile within Kenny Hill formation via static load test

Due to variation in soil layers, it is not easy for engineer to be assured that theoretical design of piles comply with the actual site condition. Thus, every design of piled foundations carries its own uncertainty and risk. This study evaluates the applicability of six methods to predict the ultima...
