Study of Lateral Load Influence on Behaviour of Negative Skin Friction on Circular and Square Piles

Negative skin friction developed on the pile surface causes many problems when piles are built in fully saturated clay. In this work, a study of NSF square cross-section corresponding to circular circumference was developed. The modeled as concrete element, embedded and contacted with soft clay layer is supported sand sub-base using ABAQUS software, due consolidation over 5-year period. A has been found provide lower values than round pile. Then, for first investigation, both were loaded lateral loads at top investigate effect horizontal load values, there no literature or done point. results emphasized that reduce piles. parametric performed parameters affecting induced piles, such soil permeability, ballast, values. It concluded better single groups. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-10-08 Full Text: PDF
