In view of the unreasonable standard of the original design of steel pipe piles in the coral reef limestone area of Kenya,we study the law of the new standard of the sinking of steel pipe piles,and obtain the recommended standard of the sinking steel pipe piles in the coral reef limestone area based on the theoretical calculation by Haili formula,the high-strain test,the static load test of anchor pile,and combining with the sinking construction of 1 440 steel pipe piles：1) The final set shall be the main stopping criteria and design pile tip level as minor one in the coral reef limestone area in Kenya;2)12~18,7~10 and 4~8 mm/blow can be the final set respectively for the φ1 200 mm×12 mm、φ1 200 mm×18 mm、φ1 200 mm×24 mm steel pipe piles with 20 t-hammer and 1.2 m drop height.The study result may serve as a reference for the sinking construction of steel pipe piles in the coral reef limestone area in Kenya.
