Base Resistance

Determination of base resistance qb should be part of the geological survey.

Recommended values of resistance qb [kPa] can be found in professional literature for specific soils and structure types:

  • for bored piles:

qb

non-cohesive soil

cohesive soil

D, Deq

-

pile diameter

Intermediate values may be linearly interpolated.
