Authors:    Muhaimenul Alam Fiaz, Masum Shaikh, Md. Keramat Ali Molla
Abstract:   This paper presents the results of pile capacity in tabular and graphical form from a field and laboratory investigation of sub-soil in khulna region. The sub-soil investigation reports of different sites of khulna were collected from crts (consultancy research & testing services), department of civil engineering, kuet and pile capacities at different depths were calculated. The analysis was made by using allowable skin friction and allowable end bearing capacity to determine pile capacity .a comparative study is made between pile capacities obtained by the conventional method and pile load test. Variation of pile capacity with respect to length of the pile obtained by conventional method differs from those obtained by pile load test. This difference can be considered reasonable from practical point of view. The results obtained from this study can be used for the design of pile in those cases where the owners are going to use pile foundation for small project without any sub-soil investigation. Moreover, for large projects pile capacity obtained by sub-soil investigation reports can be utilized for design with confidence by comparing with these results where pile load test is not performed
