Design and analysis of piles subjected to negative skin friction

Settlement of the surrounding soil due to surcharge placement may give rise to negative skin friction developed in piles. Current design procedures are based on a semi-empirical assessment of field test data and no consistent theory is available to enable soil deformations to be taken fully into acc...
