refers to the calculation of pile bearing capacity based on driving resistance—specifically the set (penetration per blow) and rebound (elastic compression). Traditionally done manually or with nomographs, engineers now leverage Microsoft Excel (XLS) to automate, standardize, and archive these calculations. and archive these calculations.
