Abstract: The bearing capacity of open-ended piles is affected by the degree of soil plugging, which is quantified by the incremental filling ratio (IFR). There is not at present a design criterion for open-ended piles that explicitly ...

Abstract: Pipe piles can be classified as either closed- or open-ended piles. In the present paper, the load capacity of both closed- and open-ended piles is related to cone penetration resistance

Abstract: Tapered piles in comparison to cylindrical piles can be beneficial in terms of the load capacity. In this paper, estimation of the load capacity for tapered piles using cone penetration test (CPT) resistance was investigated. ...

Abstract: Both the driving response and static bearing capacity of open-ended piles are affected by the soil plug that forms inside the pile during pile driving. In order to investigate the effect of the soil plug on the static and ...
