Downdrag on group piles supported on an incompressible base

In this study, design charts for computing negative skin friction or downdrag mobilized were successfully developed for a single isolated pile and also group piles supported on an incompressible stratum. The downdrag mobilized was normalized against the downdrag experienced by a single isolated pile...

Description
Summary:In this study, design charts for computing negative skin friction or downdrag mobilized were successfully developed for a single isolated pile and also group piles supported on an incompressible stratum. The downdrag mobilized was normalized against the downdrag experienced by a single isolated pile and is expressed in terms of Degree of Mobilization.
