This paper was designated to deal with the interaction between the piles socketed in weak rock and surrounding soil through field measurement. The pile head reaction and ground pressure under piled raft foundation were monitored, respectively. The analysis of the data measured in situ shows the characteristics of the pile embedded in weak rock are similar to that of friction pile to some extent. The rock socketed pile, together with the surrounding soil, shoulders the weight of the superstructure. It is suggested that soil bearing should be considered in designing the soft rock socketed piles, which can make the design more economical.展开更多
