Abstract

The article describes the approach to evaluation of a friction pile bearing capacity based on the parabolic distribution of a skin friction in multi-layer soil bases. The design equationsare obtained for evaluated the ultimate load on an axial loaded pile in multi-layer soil using the new design scheme. The advantage of the proposed approach is to obtain some experimental parameters that take into account the actual interaction of the pile and soil on the construction site. Negative friction forces (from the reaction force under the pile end) negatively affect the pile bearing capacity. The numerical example is given for a friction pile in the soil base with two layers. The proposed equation also allows calculating various parameters: the soil stress under the piletoe, the pile effective length, relative deformations along the pile, etc.
