Evaluation of Bearing Capacity of Driven Piles, Based on the Results of Solution of the Cylindrical Cavity Expansion Problem

摘要

This paper describes an analytical method for evaluating the bearing capacity of piles, installed with no soil excavation. It describes a process of pile insertion into soil and a method of pile side bearing capacity evaluation, based on a solution of the cylindrical cavity expansion problem. Analysis of analytical and test data shows the validity and applicability of the proposed method.
