A method for computing embedded depth in rock of the laterally loaded rock-socketed piles

摘要

Present a method for computing the embedded depth in rock of the laterally loaded rock-socketed piles. The method, based on the Hoek-Brown failure criterion, takes into account the mobilized lateral shear resistance along the bond of perimeter of the pile in rock. The proposed method is verified to be more reasonable by comparing its result with that of other existing methods.
