Calculation of Bored Piles in Rocky Soils Under the Action of Axial Compressive Load

  • SOIL MECHANICS
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

M. G. Zertsalov [1] carried out a brief review of methods used for calculating the bearing capacity of bored piles in rocky soils along the lateral surface under compressive loading. In this paper, the author sets out to review methods for calculating the bearing capacity of a pile based on the resistance of the rocky soil beneath the pile bottom end.
