A brief introduction shows the history of the Meyer-Kowalow theory and its basic assumptions. This is followed by the relationship between in situ investigation CPT results, with parameters C1, C2, Ct used to approximate the load-settlement curve according to the M-K theory. The Meyer-Kowalow curve satisfies asymptotic behaviour for small loads, where linear theory applies, and for limit loads, when pile displacement is out of control. Essential in the description are constant parameters C, which refer to the aggregated Winklers modulus, Ngr limit loads and k, which is crucial for static load test results. For this reason, the authors sought to calculate the κ value based upon soil mechanics principles. This article shows methods for checking statistical mathematical calculations, published earlier by Meyer using CPT investigations. It presents real case calculations and directions for future planned research.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Static load test curve analysis based on soil field investigations}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/112197/PDF/18_329-338_01091_Bpast.No.67-2_06.02.20.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpas.2019.128607}, keywords={static pile test, skin friction, static load test curve, soil characteristics}, }
