Chapter 13 AXIALLY LOADED PILES 13.1 Single Incompressible Floating Pile ‘This problem has been considered by Poulos and Davis (1968).

The behaviour of piles of non-uniform cross~ section is considered by Poulos (1969) while the behaviour of piles having a rigid cap resting on the surface is examined by Poulos.

The difference between the top and tip Gisplacenent of a pile having L/d=25 is shown in Fig.13.11. Influence factors for displacenent of the pile top are shown in Fig.13.12. In all the above cases, the layer is of infinite depth. The influence of finite layer depth is shown in Fig.13.15. Influence factors for the vertical displacenent of a point within 2 semi-infinite mass, at depth 7 below the surface and radial distance 'r from the axis, due to a pile are shown in Figs.13.14 to 13.27 for various values of I/d and X. “These factors have betn obtained by Poulos and Mattes (19718). 9 o2 on os — o| Jess0. os] 10) ¥EG.13.9 Effect of pile compressibility on shear Stress distribution (wattes. and Poulos, 1969).
