Calculs des pieux sous charges axiales

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
This is in a course overview from a document from the Karl Von Terzaghi tech school in France. I know the exact translation is "calculations of stakes under axial charges," but that seems off to me.

David Goward Dec 10, 2010:
"exact translation" Are you not confusing "exact" with "literal" or "word-for-word" here?
chris collister Dec 10, 2010:
See Bob's answer to your other question for the correct answer.
polyglot45 Dec 10, 2010:
more context needed for example, are they talking about "pieux de pont" or something else ?
And "charges" is "loads" not "charges"
