Determination of unit skin friction for pile in sand

The unit skin friction is difficult to assess. The method of installation of the pile and the pile material, as such, assume considerable significance as shall be seen hereafter. The choice of the unit skin friction formula depends on the soil type and the pile type. The consistency of unit skin fri...

Determination of unit skin friction for pile in sand
description The unit skin friction is difficult to assess. The method of installation of the pile and the pile material, as such, assume considerable significance as shall be seen hereafter. The choice of the unit skin friction formula depends on the soil type and the pile type. The consistency of unit skin friction value is depends on the unit weight of sand. Different types of sand will produce different values of unit skin friction. In this paper, a program of field and load testing tests for 2 bored piles with diameter varying from 600 mm to 750 mm constructed in Malaysian sand was conducted to measure the axial response of bored piles.
