There are two standard ways to estimate the capacity of the pile (Coduto, 2001).
1. Static or dynamic pile load test
2. Analytical method

Analytical methods are commonly performed by empirical method, p-z analysis, or both. For example, in a commercial software suite, the designer can employ an empirical method for initial design and use detailed p-z analysis for checking.
