Analytical Model for Load-Transfer Mechanism of Rock …

The mobilization of side resistance has a significant effect on load-transfer characteristics and the ultimate bearing capacity of rock-socketed piles. A good understanding of the shear mechanism of a concrete–rock interface has a critical part in analytical load-transfer solutions of rock-socketed piles.
