The problem of increasing the bearing capacity of the base is an relevant problem in modern geotechnical construction. When significant loads are transmitted to the base, the use of traditional technologies is not always justified. Often there is an urgent need to use non-standard ways to strengthen the bases. In many cases, the geotechnical situation is aggravated by the presence of weak underlying layers with unstable physical and mechanical characteristics in engineering-geological sections. When strengthening such bases with the help of traditional piles, the latter can get negative friction, which significantly reduces their bearing capacity on the ground, sometimes reaching zero values. This may lead to additional precipitations of the objects being constructed and constructed in the zone of geotechnical influence. The use of ERT piles in most cases successfully solves many complex geotechnical problems.

It is difficult and important to accurately calculate single pile ultimate bearing capacity during pile foundation design. Typical computational methods on single pile ultimate bearing capacity are contrastively analyzed in this paper. Contact element method on single pile ultimate bearing capacity is relatively accurate and economical, but it isn’t used in practical projects until now because its computational process is complicated. 343 different single pile ultimate bearing capacities are calculated with the contact element method in order to study a simple computational formula based on the contact element method. All data calculated are analyzed with a linear recursive multi-analysis program which is programmed with Fortran90. A simple computational formula on the contact element method is presented based on the analysis results. The simple computational formula, the experiential formula in the code, the contact element method and the static load experiment method are respectively used to calculate single pile ultimate bearing capacity in two practical projects in order to test the simple computational formula. The results show that the simple computational formula is relatively accurate. Some advice is presented based on the analysis results.
