Abstract

This paper shows a method of setting soil parameters of FEM analysis in order to predict relationship between pile end load and settlement. The accuracy of the prediction depends on which constitutive equation to be used and the parameter values to be set. Generally it is difficult to set all the parameters properly because the given information is usually only STP N value and overburden pressure. The author proposes to use an approximate constitutive equation to overcome the difficulty and how to set the parameter values. An example is demonstrated in case of bored piles.
