The review on the modified exponential model in the fitting of loading-settlement curves of single pile

According to optimized fitting analysis for measured data in static load test of 22 different types of single piles, a new modified exponential model was proposed by authors in this paper. In comparison between the hyperbolic model and the integrated exponential curve model, the correlativity coefficients R of the modified exponential model were over 0.996. The fitting effect of the model of proposed in this paper is better than that of other models above-mentioned. The deviations between fitting and measured data in static load test for single pile was small, especially, in the tail pasts of fitting curves, the mean deviations of 2 test pile given in the paper are 1.61% and 1.99% respectively. The modified exponential model can be better described Q-S curves of single piles. It can be used to better evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity of single piles.
