Effects of the Tip Location on Single Piles Subjected to Surcharge and Axial Loads by Yaru Lv, Xuanming Ding, Dubo Wang

“…However, the side resistance of the piles with Y=0.00D and -1.00D has a potential capacity to carry more loads with continued displacement since the increment of end resistance increases almost linearly with axial load. Therefore, when designing the pile foundation, the inclusion of the NSF should be governed by the amount of axial load to be resisted.…”
