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

Then, the compiled data set is evaluated regardless of the variation in lithology/strength. The proposed empirical equation in this study comprises a wider range of uniaxial compressive strength（UCS）（0.15 MPa 〈 σ_（rc） 〈156 MPa） and various rock types. Rock mass cuttability index（RMCI） is correlated with shaft resistance（r_s） to predict the shaft resistance of rock-socketed piles. The prediction capacity of the RMCI versus r_s equation is also found to be in a fair good agreement with the presented data in Rezazadeh and Eslami（2017）. Since the RMCI is a promising parameter in the prediction of shaft resistance, the researchers in the rock-socketed pile design area should consider this parameter in the further investigations.展开更多
