In view of the shortcomings of the current research and engineering application about bearing capacity recovery of precast pile,based on a marine engineering in West Africa,this paper puts forward the high strain method.The process of bearing capacity recovery of large diameter steel pipe pile after pile sinking is studied by using the test method of combination of initial beating of the same steel pipe pile with different stopping time.Combined with geological conditions,pile sinking and test results,the general law and influencing factors of the steel pipe pile’s bearing capacity,side resistance and end resistance change with time are obtained,and the research results are verified by static load test.This study not only improves the construction efficiency and reduces the cost of the project,but also gets some meaningful rules and conclusions,which can provide reference for the following similar projects
