In designing water jetted piles, is there a design procedure different from standard driven piles?


When these piles are installed, since there are no blow counts, how do you determine that you have reached load capacity?

Any books on this?
 
Sure, but the jetting contractor is going to bring a traditional hammer
 
Yes, "not going"
