Abstract
There has been concerted effort in recent years to investigate the fundamental processes that govern the behaviour of displacement piles in clay soils. Attempts have been made by various research organizations (e.g. MIT, NGI, Oxford University, and Imperial College) to measure the effective stresses acting on pile shafts using high quality instrumented model piles. In addition, a joint industry group led by British Petroleum has tested two large diameter (Ø762mm) instrumented driven piles at sites within the UK (Mullis, 1992).
