Dear all,
In reading a geotechnical design submission report, I found design assumption as follows:
Due to wind (transient load), the allowable bearing capacity of pile is increased by 25%.
Is it a good assumption? I searched in the internet, and find that some of the design codes having this kind of design method, but I did not know the principle it plays.
Thanks for any help.

No principles involved.
To deal properly with wind loading you need to know the loading which should be provided by the structural designer. One approach is then to design to Eurocode 7 (draft) with appropriate partial factors applied to wind and other loads and to material parameters.
