BENDING RESISTING MECHANISM OF EMBEDDED PILE BLOCK OF PILE CAP

On behavior of the pile-cap embedding prefabricate pile, many experiments and investigations of failure mode were conducted. However, the design-method of the pile-cap embedding the prefabricate pile and the method of evaluating the maximum bending strength are less well understood. This paper reports that the bending resisting mechanism of the pile-cap in cases where a single prefabricate pile is embedded by a single pile-cap.
