I am working with pile drivability analysis. I am in trouble selecting shaft area and toe area for H 12X74 piles.

My question is:

-What are the areas (toe and shaft) i should use in static analysis?

-What are the areas (toe and shaft) i should use in (dynamic) drivability analysis?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
