Abstract The method for determining the load bearing capacity of pile is summarized and the basic principle of the transient surface wave test technique is described in this paper. The application of this technique to estimating the bearing capacity of pile, in particular, is presented with a practical example. The standard penetration test blow count (N63.5) related to the shear wave velocity could be used to estimate the bearing capacity of pile. The correlation model of Vs with qsik and qpk was constructed through N63.5. The transient surface wave could be used to test the shear wave velocity of soil around the pile and estimate the bearing capacity of pile.
