NEN 6743

The NEN 6743 "Piled Foundations" standard determines the maximum pressure at pile toe pmax,toe from the corresponding i-th penetration test as follows:

kde: qc,I,m - mean of the cone tip resistance  qc,I (see article 5.3.3.3 in NEN 6743 standard)
qc,II,m - mean of the minimum cone tip resistance  qc,II (see article 5.3.3.3 in NEN 6743 standard)
qc,III,m - mean of the cone tip resistance  qc,III (see article 5.3.3.3 in NEN 6743 standard)
αp - pile toe coefficient
s - pile shape coefficient
β - expanded pile toe coefficient

The maximum pressure at pile toe pmax,toe is limited by the value of 15 MPa. In cohesionless soils the analysis takes into account the influence of overconsolidation (OCR).

The maximum shaft friction pmax,shaft  is given by:

where: αs - shaft friction coefficient
qc,z,a - tip resistance at depth h
