Pile Capacity from Static Pile Load Test,
           Modified Chen Method

Ultimate Pile Capacity from Static Pile Load Test,
Using Modified Chen Method:
The loading curve is drawn as follows:
Horizontal axis = measured settlement (s);
Vertical axis = measured settlement (s) /load (Q).

Qult    1
          1.2 C1

Where:

Qult = Ultimate pile capacity, (kN);
1.2 = Safety factor

C1 = Slope of the d/Load Vs. d curve.                              33
