Finally, the calibration procedure for deriving the model factor used in the recent French standard for pile design following Eurocode 7 is explained using two approaches: one compares the dispersions of the former and new calculation models...

The improved expressions would be useful for earthworks, and for developing standards for compaction tests for field applications.
