The deviating interpretation of Almere to the NEN-6743: The consequence of a heterogeneous soil profile, or a result of misinterpreted overconsolidation?

Actual bearing capacity of piles in Almere often differs from the expected values as calculated using nearby CPT data; the calculated strength is often higher than can be achieved in the field. To calculate the bearing capacity of foundation piles within Almere an addition has therefore been made to the standard NEN6743-1. The proposed...
