Analytical Model for the End-Bearing Capacity of Tapered Piles Using Cavity Expansion Theory

On the basis of evidence from model tests on increasing the end-bearing behavior of tapered piles at the load-settlement curve, this paper proposes an analytical spherical cavity expansion theory to evaluate the end-bearing capacity. The angle of tapering is inserted in the proposed model to evaluat...
