Abstract: In this article we will analyze the main factors that influence the quality and safety of continuous helix piles, proposing a methodology for determining the load capacity based on the SPT test.

It should be noted that, even today, the parameters involved in dimensioning are still considered to be theoretically certain and the calculation methodology adopted is accepted as accurate. However, the major source of variability in foundation engineering is the geological-geotechnical formation, with the performance of the soil-foundation system being strongly influenced by the stratigraphic variability along the profile and in the massif as a whole.
