Settlement Considerations in the Design of Axially Loaded Piles
The design of a pile to carry a given load involves two separate aspects. The first of these is the choice of relevant soil parameters, such as skin friction, shear modulus, etc., from the site investigation data. The second aspect is the choice of the pile type and dimensions. This paper is concerned with the latter part of the design process. In particular, attention will be focused on choosing a suitable slenderness ratio taking due account of the stiffness of the pile relative to that of the soil, and also of the type of foundation that the pile is intended for. An optimum design may be thought of as one where the pile satisfies the design criteria of load capacity and axial stiffness, for the minimum cost. Taking the embedded volume of pile as an indication of cost, it will be shown that long slender piles generally provide a more efficient foundation than short piles.
