The result of static method gave over estimation of the ultimate loads of short driven pile and a good estimation of the ultimate loads of long driven piles. The pile load test data shows that test was performed only two to two and half times of design load. Therefore, the load settlement curves shows that the tests were stopped in early elastic condition. "The Chin's method" overestimated the ultimate loads of driven piles and "the Mazurkiewicz's method" was extensively used to interpret the ultimate loads of driven pile. Theory basic calculation of conventional driving formulae gave the underprediction except "the Engineering News Formula". "The Janbu's Formula" gave good estimation of the ultimate load of driven pile. The proposed constants were deduced from ultimate capacity of static load test. Then, the correlation between the ultimate capacity of static load test and the dynamic load test were also evaluated. The proposed constants can give a good estimation of ultimate static load after correction UR - http://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B12586 ER -
