ABSTRACT

The calculation procedure of piles, based on Polish Code No. PN-83/B-02482, “Foundations. Bearing capacity of piles and pile foundations’” is presented. The attention has been focused on the bearing capacity of single pile calculation. The results of comparative analysis for a determination of complete load-settlement relation with application of load transfer functions are briefly shown. Values of unit resistance under a base and along a shaft of pile, for load transfer functions were assumed on the basis of Polish Code. The results obtained seem to be satisfactory from the engineering point of view.
