The static loading test is undoubtedly the most reliable method for forecasting the ultimate capacity of the large diameter bored piles (LDBP). However, in-situ loading of this class of piles until reaching failure is practically seldom due to the large amount of settlement required for shaft and base mobilization. Therefore, many international design standards recommend either capacity-based or settlement-based methods to estimate the LDBP ultimate capacity in case of the impossibility of performing loading tests during the design phase.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study based on electronic case records of 4 years from a tertiary reference facility in Oman.
Article Synopsis
- This case report presents an adult male who developed acute cauda equina syndrome symptoms, including severe back pain, leg weakness, and bladder/bowel issues.
- Emergency imaging revealed no spinal compressive lesions but indicated spinal arteriovenous malformation, leading to a diagnosis of Foix-Alajouanine syndrome.
- The patient was successfully treated with endovascular embolization, highlighting the importance of considering this syndrome in similar clinical cases.
