Abstract
Ultimate lateral bearing capacity of rock mass is the base of the research of laterally loaded drilled shafts socketed in rock mass. The ultimate bearing capacity is often not available because of the limitation of loading ability in field tests. Numerical tests are used here to simulate the drilled shafts socketed in rock mass and expand the load-displacement curve obtained from field tests. Common methods of determining ultimate lateral bearing capacity are also analyzed and compared here. At last, a relatively accurate method of determining laterally loaded drilled shafts socketed in rock mass is recommended.
