The formula (10) was successfully used for the determining of the bearing capacity of piles during some years. Howeyer, in some cases the load ■test of piles si— multaneously with sounding showed that sometimes deyiations are unallcwable*
The inyestigations have reyealed that the accuracy of the determination of the bearing capacity of piles by the data of the static sounding can be substantial— ly improyed by introducing yariable coef-fioients of transition from the soil resistanoe under a o one to the soli rasie tan ca under a pile point and from spe-cific friction on a sounding tubę to specific friotion on a pile depending res-peotiyely on mean oone resistanoe (q™) and mean speoific friction on a sounding tubę (fm)*

As Gan be seen in Fig*7 the oomparieon shows good agreement* The mean value of erros is 4*20 per cent and -16 per cent* The possibility of the determination of the pile bearing capacity by the total resistanoe oz a sounding tubę (without separating to oone resistanoe and skin friotion) is of a great inte-rest, The prodessing of 153 ezperiments by this method gave the following formula for the determining of the ultimate resistanoe of a pile:
