Abstract
Abstract Static pile load tests in laboratory conditions were carried out to study the mechanism of the pile skin and pile base resistance mobilization with settlement and their interactions. The mechanism of the skin resistance at the base is important in the correct interpretation of the pile capacity. Especially in the case of piles shallowly embedded in the bearing layer. In the studies described in this article, high-precision piezoelectric elastic stress maps were used. The tests were carried out on piles with a diameter of 2.5–2.8 cm, and length of 40 cm. Static pile load tests were carried out to measure resistance at the pile base, settlement and change of stress in the soil at the level of the pile base or beneath the pile base were measured. The analysis of stress in soil allowed to investigate the interaction between the resistances of the pile base and skin. The state of stress in the soil close to the pile base, both beneath and above the pile base level was heavily influenced by the simultaneous mobilization of skin and base resistance.
