where
• x1 and x2 are correlation factors related to the number of piles tested.
• They are applied respectively to the mean and the lowest values of the measured pull-out and lateral
resistances as shown in table below.
• For cases where the number of test piles is greater than five (5 No.), the characteristic pile pull-out and
lateral strengths are the lower of the mean or minimum value, which would be the minimum value.
