QUESTION
I am trying to gather information about the maximum unit skin friction for piles:
-
Prakash and Sharma (1990)suggested fs<=1 tsf. I also read somewhere that fs should stop increasing from 10D~20D depth.
-
Bowles (1996) only says that fs should be considered but didn’t say how.
-
Coduto (2001) didn’t mention limiting fs at all.
Any more reference on this topic?
