Pile Load Capacity Calculation Using Standard Penetration Resistance This method of calculating pile load capacity in cohesion less soil (i.e. in sand) was suggested by Meyerhof. Meyerhof suggested

It appears to be a common construction practice that bored piles are normally cast up to a piling platform much higher than the formation level of pile caps.
As per IS-2911-Part1 / Sec-2, the ultimate load carrying capacity (Qu) of pile in cohesive soils is given by the given below, where the first term represents the
