Abstract

In these days, deep embedded and large diameter steel pipe piles have been widely used in port facilities in Japan for supporting large vertical load. In this study, the plugging phenomena was examined by changing the outer diameter of the pile, the wall thickness, and the density of the ground. As a result, the relationship between the inner stress ratio Rr and the inner soil height length change rate IFR* did not varied by the pile outer diameter D or the diameter thickness ratio D/t. And the product of the wall friction coefficient μ and the earth pressure coefficient Kh was found not to be much influenced by the difference of the pile outer diameter and the relative density of the ground.
