Hi,
I am trying to validate an experimental model consisting of rough pile under uplift (tension) displacement in sand using embedded pile/beam. The model pile has diameter of 50 mm and length of 700 mm. Can anyone suggest a method to calculate the values of T skin friction, start and T skin friction end for the embedded pile. Which equation should I use should i use to arrive at T skin friction in kN/m.
Hi Jerin,
If you refer the Plaxis Reference Manual Section 6.6.3, it elaborates the various options for calculation the skin friction along the piles for homogeneous (linear) and non- homogeneous soils.
Hope it helps.

Laswin
Thank you very much
