Correction Factors for Driven Piles

The correction factors for base ηb and shaft ηs may be calculated or input for driven piles in the "Geometry" frame.

Pile type

ηb [-]

ηs [-]

Reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete

1,00

Steel tube - open

(0,30 m ≤ Db ≤ 1,60 m)

0,95.e-1,2Db

1,1.e-0,63Db

Steel tube - closed

(Db ≤ 0,80 m)

0,80
