A TECHNIQUE TO PREDICT THE SIDE RESISTANCE BEHAVIOUR OF ROCK SOCKETED PILES

This paper presents a relatively simple semi-empirical technique to predict the overall shear stress, normal and shear displacement characteristics of joints under the constant normal stiffness condition. Good agreement between actual and predicted joint behaviour was generally obtained. It is shown how the technique can be used to predict the load-settlement response of side-resistance-only rock socketed piles. A comparison of predicted and actual pile performance is also presented.
