This paper presents estimations of bearing capacities of precast concrete joint piles at two construction sites in the regions of Port Prorva located in Western Kazakhstan. The capacities of the piles were predicted using the static pile load test data with the conventional interpretation methods. The results were compared to those from APILE analyses, analytical calculations based on the Kazakhstani standard method, and the pile driving analyzer. It was shown that the highest pile capacities were obtained from the Chin interpretation and Decourt extrapolation methods. The results from De Beer, Davisson, and Fuller and Hoy interpretation methods were found to be similar. The result from the Butler and Hoy interpretation method was similar to the ones obtained from pile driving analyzer and APILE analyses. The pile capacity obtained by the Kazakhstani standard method was found slightly higher, though it is applicable for estimating ultimate pile capacities. The yield capacity of the piles was determined under working loads. The methods used in the paper can also serve as practical guidelines to assess the capacities of driven piles installed in the field.
