Abstract :
In the present study, an analysis was
conducted to assess the load-bearing capacity, shear
stress distribution along the pile and soil interface, and
load transmission to the depth for both conventional
rigid piles and stepped rigid piles. The conventional pile
had a diameter of 1m and a length of 20m. For the
stepped rigid pile, the upper portion was reduced by
0.1D and 0.2D of the pile diameter, while the diameter of
the lower portion was adjusted to maintain the total
length and volume of the stepped rigid pile, similar to
the conventional pile. The results indicate that the
stepped rigid piles demonstrate superior load-bearing
capacities compared to the conventional piles.
Keywords :
Stepped pile; shear stresses; load transformation. FEM.
