A STUDY OF SKIN FRICTION ON PILES IN STIFF CLAY
In stiff clays the horizontal direct effective stress in a soil element adjacent to a pile face is likely to be at least equal to, and probably greater than, the vertical direct effective stress. This places restrictions on the skin friction which can be developed on the soil-pile interface and these are explored by means of Mohr-Coulomb stress diagrams. It is also shown that a relationship can be established between effective stress and total stress methods of calculating skin friction. /Author/
