To study the deformation and failure mechanisms of soft rock mining roadways, the 1506
return airway of Anyang Coal Mine is taken as the engineering background. Based on limit …

The design of rock-socketed pile foundations requires careful consideration of critical
construction aspects such as the socket roughness and smear for accurately estimating the …

The load-carrying capacity of rock-socketed piles depends on the shaft resistance at the pile-
rock interface which is governed by the interactions between the pile, rock, and soft interface …

The present study demonstrates that the 3D discrete-element method provides a practical
model approach to visualize the cemented grain crushing evolution under pile penetration …

The design of rock-socketed piles at the serviceability state primarily depends on the shaft
resistance (skin friction) at the interface, which may be influenced by the presence of weak …

Based on the random distribution patterns of rock fragmentation (RF), a concrete–rock shear
model (CRSM) considering RF was developed through the application of statistical theory …

This paper aims to investigate the effect of combined end-and-side grouting on the bearing
properties of large-diameter rock-socketed bored piles in highly weathered rock layers. Eight …

The shaft resistance of rock-socketed piles (RSPs) is primarily influenced by the interactions
between the pile, rock and any soft interface materials. This study presents a fundamental …

This paper investigates the bearing behavior of axially loaded rock socketed piles in
limestone stratum embedded with a karst cavity beneath the pile. The pile foundation …

Belled piles are increasingly being employed for transmission tower foundations in the
mountainous regions of Western China, but their uplift behavior is not fully understood. This …
