Socketted Piers

Socketted piers are usually end bearing piles which are drilled into rock.

Why Socketted Piles?

It improves vertical capacity of piles mainly from base
It is believed that pile socketed into a soft or weathered rock will improve the capacities of piles to lateral loads when the surrounding soil above the rock is weak. But, may not be in all cases

Major Observations in Literature Review

Behavior of socketed piers under static vertical load is well understood and established design guidelines are available. For socketed piers under lateral loads, few studies of design guidelines are being developed. Very less studies were reported on behavior of socketed piers under earthquake loads.

Objectives of the study

To study the behavior of socketed piers under static, lateral loads. To study the behavior of socketed piers under earthquake loads.

Methodology
DEVELOP A 2D MODEL USING FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD (FLAC2D).
VALIDATION OF THE PROPOSED MODEL USING PUBLISHED EXPERIMENTAL DATA. PARAMETRIC STUDIES TO UNDERSTAND THE INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS ON RESPONSE OF SOCKETTED PIERS UNDER STATIC AND DYNAMIC LATERAL LOADS.

FLAC2D Overview

FLAC is a two-dimensional explicit finite difference program for engineering mechanics computation.
It can simulate the behaviour of structures built of soil, rock or other materials that may undergo plastic flow when their yield limits are reached.
