Cavity Expansion Methods in Geomechanics

Abstract

It is well established that cavity expansion solutions can be used to estimate the end-bearing capacity of driven piles in soils. Like cone penetration in soils, the rigorous analysis of the behaviour of driven piles is difficult because of its highly material and geometric nonlinear nature. Although considerable progress has been made over the last 20 years in the analysis of driven piles in clays, the analysis and design of piles in sand is still largely empirical.
