SIP has been widely used as a low noise and vibration piling method in Korea. But the quality control of SIP was not properly settled down and field workers did not fully understand the principle of SIP method. So not a less troubles were raised at construction site and bearing capacity was not fully mobilized. To settle these problems, Korea National Housing Corporation amended the construction and load test criteria of SIP in 2002. After load tests on the SIPs installed in field according to the new criteria, we found that the bearing capacity in field vs the design load ratio increased and bearing characteristics was enhanced than that installed by the former criteria. To consider the enhanced bearing characteristics in the pile design and determine the adequate design criteria, this paper analyzed the accuracy of design criterion which were commonly used in Korea comparing with the load test results. Analysis result shows that Meyerhof criteria(1976) properly simulates the bearing capacity of SIP installed by the new construction and load test criteria.
