This 3-page journal article discusses using bitumen slip layers to reduce negative skin friction in pile foundations. It presents a case study where a bitumen layer was used between a concrete pile and the surrounding soil, eliminating negative friction and increasing the pile's load-bearing capacity. The author concludes that bitumen slip layers are an effective technique for improving pile performance by reducing negative skin friction effects.
