This study presents 3M, an analytical method to estimate the skin friction of bored piles in sands. It is based on the fundamental mechanic behavior of sands and keeps track of the major mechanisms occurring in the soil close to the pile during loading. These include the development of a shear band, its potential expansion as induced by soil dilatancy, and the ensuing increment of horizontal stresses owing to the restraining effect of surrounding soils. The resulting analytical equations are easy to apply and insert in a worksheet. The procedure to evaluate the shear band expansion is calibrated against results of direct shear tests at constant normal load, whereas the increment of horizontal stresses is evaluated by the closed-form solution for the expansion of a cylindrical cavity into a dilatant elastic–perfectly plastic medium. The effectiveness of the 3M method in predicting shaft friction has been checked against numerical results, centrifuge, and full scale pile load tests. Nevertheless, prior to use in design practice, preliminary validation is required with more well-documented experimental data from load tests on instrumented bored piles.

Abstract

This study presents 3M, an analytical method to estimate the skin friction of bored piles in sands. It is based on the fundamental mechanic behavior of sands and keeps track of the major mechanisms occurring in the soil close to the pile during loading. These include the development of a shear band, its potential expansion as induced by soil dilatancy, and the ensuing increment of horizontal stresses owing to the restraining effect of surrounding soils. The resulting analytical equations are easy to apply and insert in a worksheet. The procedure to evaluate the shear band expansion is calibrated against results of direct shear tests at constant normal load, whereas the increment of horizontal stresses is evaluated by the closed-form solution for the expansion of a cylindrical cavity into a dilatant elastic–perfectly plastic medium. The effectiveness of the 3M method in predicting shaft friction has been checked against numerical results, centrifuge, and full scale pile load tests. Nevertheless, prior to use in design practice, preliminary validation is required with more well-documented experimental data from load tests on instrumented bored piles.
