Load-settlement behaviour of socketed piles in sandstone

Bouafia, Ali

Abstract Nine Static vertical pile loading tests were carried out in Abu-Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates in order to assess the end bearing capacity and settlement of piles bored in slightly silty sands overlying soft rocky horizons like sandstone and calcarenite. The paper is aimed at presenting the results of interpretation of the pile tests in order to estimate the end bearing capacity in correlation with the unconfined compressive strength Rc and the rock quality designation (RQD). Load-settlement behaviour is also studied through an analysis by the elastic methods commonly used in pile design.
