Pile foundation serves to carry load. Each foundation must be capable of supporting load up to a predeterminet safety limits, including supporting the maximum possible loads. The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the axial bearing capacity of piles using the SPT data with Mayerhof and Briaud Et Al methods, and also using the numerical methods with the helps of Plaxis 2D 8.2 Version Program. The difference of bearing capacity may caused by the difference of soil, testing methods which depends on the accuracy of operator and the difference of the parameters used in each calculation.
