Overview on the Bearing Behavior Research of Rock-Socketed Piles

Abstract

It mainly reviewed the current research status of the bearing characteristic of rock-socketed piles. From reading all kinds of calculation model in different code, it pointed out the disadvantages. It concluded the present work on the two main factors which influence the bearing capacity of rock-socketed pile most. Based on this work, it figures out the deficiencies of the research presently and prospects the future research. In the end, it suggests that the bearing behavior and failure mechanism of rock-socketed piles with thick sediments remains need to be further discussed.
