Review of Design Methods of the Ultimate Side Shear and Base Resistance for Rock-Socketed Pile

Abstract:

To determine the ultimate load capacity of drilled shaft socketed into rock under axial compression loading, it is necessary to predict both the ultimate side shear resistance and the base resistance based on field load test or/ and laboratory tests. In geotechnical engineering there are several methods proposed the relationship between rock properties (the unconfined compressive strength) and the ultimate side shears resistance and base resistance. This paper presents the review of design methods of ultimate side shear and base resistance for rock-socketed pile. These empirical functions depend on the socket type and the range of the unconfined compressive strength of rock.
