Driven piles in clay obtain their capacity through end bearing resistance and adhesion. [1] End bearing resistance is calculated based on the undrained shear strength at the pile base and can be a small proportion of the total capacity. [2] Driving piles into clay increases pore water pressures and causes major changes to the soil, affecting capacity. Adhesion is calculated using empirical factors related to the undrained shear strength and effective stress. [3] For long piles in stiff clay, quasi-effective
