Centrifuge Tests on Rock-Socketed Piles: Effect of Socket Roughness on Shaft Resistance
J.G. Gutiérrez-Ch, G. Song, Heron, C.M., Marshall, A., Jimenez, R. Abstract Preliminary estimations of shaft resistance of rock-socketed piles are usually conducted using empirical formulations that relate to the uniaxial compressive strength (𝜎𝑐) of the weaker material involved (intact rock or pile). However, there are other factors, such as the degree of socket roughness, that […]
