A method is presented for the analysis and prediction of single pile behaviour under
maintained loading, based on the use of hyperbolic functions to describe individual shaft …

The results of five axial loading tests on large-diameter drilled piles socketed into rock are
discussed in this paper. The piles were built on an Italian site where several shallow rock …

Drilled shafts in rock are widely used as foundations of heavy structures such as highway
bridges and tall buildings. Although much has been learned about the analysis and design …

The load distribution and deformation of drilled shafts subjected to axial loads were
evaluated by a load-transfer approach. The emphasis was on quantifying the load-transfer …

Piles are a common choice of foundation in high-rise buildings and heavily loaded
structures due to the requirement of a higher-capacity foundation system to withstand the …

The load distribution and deformation of rock-socketed drilled shafts subjected to axial loads
were evaluated by a load-transfer approach. The emphasis was on quantifying the shear …

The load-settlement behavior of rock-socketed drilled shafts under axial loading is
investigated by a load-transfer approach. Special attention is given to the shear load-transfer …

This paper presents a shear load transfer function and an analytical method for estimating
the load transfer characteristics of rock-socketed drilled shafts subjected to axial loads. A …

The load distribution and deformation of rock-socketed drilled shafts subjected to axial loads
are evaluated by a load transfer method. The emphasis is on quantifying the effect of …

Osterberg-Cell (O-Cell) tests are widely used to predict the load–settlement behavior of
large-diameter drilled shafts socketed in rock. The loading direction of O-Cell tests for shaft …
