Abstract

To investigate the settlement characteristics of drilled shaft socketed into igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock, experimental results of the pile load tests were thoroughly collected in 20 different locations, clearly tabulated, and extensively compared with the standards for assessment of ultimate load. Total and elastic settlement patterns of drill shaft were completely dependent on the socketed pile length, the imposed load, the pile diameter, and the shear stress in bedrock, whereas residual settlement did not depend on the factors. It was also observed that the trends of total, residual, and elastic settlements were independent on bedrock types. Comparison between the experimental data and the standards shows that the total and residual settlements of large drilled shaft socketed in bedrock were too high to determine the ultimate load, and the reasonable amount of total or residual settlement measured from pile load test is proposed to assess the ultimate load capacity of drilled shaft socketed in bedrock.
