Abstract :
Simple semiempirical expressions for the ground resistance of a single rod driven in two-layer soil are suggested. The expressions have served as the basis for a method of interpreting driven-rod test data to estimate soil parameters. The approach is demonstrated for several sets of computer and field experimental data
