Abstract
Piles are designed to transfer a load of superstructure to the deep hard soil strata crossing the upper weaker strata through frictional or end bearing action. Settlement analyses for single or group of the solid pile are available in literature based on analytical or empirical approaches. The present study deals with the settlement analysis of single circular hollow and single conventional pile using Plaxis-3D foundation. Effect of diameter, length and position of hollow portion filled with different granular materials of moduli of elasticity is evaluated and studied in terms of the load settlement curve. Results of floating conventional circular pile and floating circular hollow pile are compared in terms of parameters as mentioned above by keeping the same conditions and properties of surrounding soil and pile. Floating circular hollow pile gives optimum and economical results as compared to the single circular conventional pile in respect of settlement up to a certain percentage of varying hollow portion.
