ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY OF AXIALLY LOADED PILES BASED ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
A three-dimensional mechanism of bearing capacity of axially-loaded vertical piles with flat rough base in homogeneous soil is analyzed on the basis of plastic theory under the condition of axial-symmetry. The soil is considered as a perfectly rigid plastic material obeying the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The stress field is assumed to satisfy the Haar-Karman condition. The results of the analysis are presented as bearing capacity factors in terms of the friction angle for the case of deep foundations. The compressibility of soil is accounted by introducing an empirical compressibility factor. The semi empirical values obtained earlier were found to agree closely with the theoretical bearing capacity factors. (Author/TRRL)
