文摘In this study, a variational approach to the settlement analysisof an axially loaded pier em- bedded in a multi-layered soil profileis presented. In this method, the soil profile and the embedded pierare divided into a number of sub-layers according to the actualnumber o soil layers observed in the field. The displacement shapefunction of each soil layer is given as a product of an exponentialequation along the pier depth and the Bessel's solution in the radialdirection.
