	Summary:
	Methods that have been used in determining the bearing capacity of piles are not entirely reliable given the variability of the parameters involved. Most of the methods used are based on theoretical models of the lowest reliability degree. Pile loading tests give a more realistic idea of the pile behaviour under load. In addition, ultimate bearing capacity obtained by pile loading test may be used to calculate the allowable loading intensity at a reasonable factor of safety.
