Correlation Coefficient K

The correlation coefficient of skin friction K is entered in the "Pile CPT" tab. The value of this coefficient is equal to the ratio of unit pile shaft resistance and unit penetrometer sleeve local friction. Correlation coefficient K can be expressed for example by the function of embedded pile length - see the following graphs.

Function of embedded pile length (D - embedded pile length, b - pile width or diameter)
