Equilibrium equation
The equilibrium equation to be satisfied in the ul-
timate limit state design of axially loaded piles in
compression is
Fc; d d Rc; d , (1)

where Fc;d is the design axial compression load and


Rc;d is the pile compressive design resistance.

Characteristic pile resistance


Eurocode 7 describes three procedures for obtain-
ing the characteristic compressive resistance Rc,k of
a pile:
(a) Directly from static pile load tests with coefficient
[1 and [2 for n pile load tests, given in Table A.9

(a) friction pile; (b) end-bearing pile (b) By calculation from profiles of ground test results or
by calculation from ground parameters with coeffi-
cient given in Table A.10 of EN 1997-1 Annex A,
