When the use of pile foundation is decided it is important to select a suitable pile type. The design of the pile length and size depends on a collection of the information available including the soil investigation relevant to the particular site. The use of static formulae to estimate the long-term bearing capacity of pile is better achieved by effective  stress analysis rather than the undrained shear strength correlation.  The estimation of ultimate bearing capacity by quasi-static penetrometer is fast economical and within reasonable accuracy. The best method of determining the bearing capacity and settlement of pile is by load  test. The QML test and CRP test may be used for routine tests. The method of interpreting the failure load from load test data without considering the elastic shortening of long pile is inaccurate and conservatives. In the sequence of pile design settlement is the controlling factor instead of bearing capacity. The elastic solutions for  pile settlement will not be confidently used in the near future.10aPiling (Civil engineering)10aFoundations1 aBalasubramaniam, A.S., eChairperson1 aHolmberg, Soren, eExamination Committee1 aAkagi, Toshinobu, eExamination Committee2 aGovernment of Netherlands, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno. 1283  3Full-Textuhttp://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B22892
