Performance of Piles Socketed in Weathered Rock
摘要
The paper presents a novel study on the performance of axially loaded piles socketed in rock. The finite element commercial software Plaxis is applied to simulate the axially loaded piles. The Hoke-Brown model is adapted to capture the behavior of Rock. The paper’s obtained results are verified with field test results. An agreement between the analysis results and the field test results is obtained. These results can be an effective tool for practical engineering in designing the resistance of axially loaded piles socketed in rock.
