High degree of uncertainty is associated with the geotechnical investigations as it is impossible to conduct the pile load test on each and every pile due to their expensiveness and tedious nature. As per the guidelines given by the IS 2911 (part1-section 2)-2014 considers only the granular or clayey (C or ? soils) throughout the depth of the pile. This is not actually possible in the actual field. So it is necessary to build the software which can calculate the pile load capacity for foundation soil having different soil strata, existing throughout the entire depth of pile. This software will eliminate excessive cost of investigations. We have derived a new formula based on the existing formula given in the IS code 2911 and this formula is used for computation of result in the software.
