Abstract: The mobilization of side resistance of rock-socketed pile strongly depends on the shear behavior of the pile-rock interface. In this study, an asperity-based model was developed to investigate essential responses of interface ...

Abstract: In developing a vertical load transfer function for bored piles buried in cohesive intermediate geomaterials (IGM), it is essential to understand the shear behavior of the rough sidewall. The interface between the cohesive ...
