AbstractThis paper presents a new method for estimating the base capacity of open-ended steel pipe piles in sand, a difficult problem involving great uncertainty in pile foundation design. The method, referred to as the Hong Kong University (HKU) method, is based on the cone penetration test (CPT), and takes into consideration the mechanisms of annulus and plug resistance mobilization. In this method the annulus resistance is properly linked to the ratio of the pile length to the diameter—a key…

Bearing capacity analysis of open-ended piles considering the degree of soil plugging

Base resistance of open-ended piles evaluated by various design methods

The design bearing capacity of an open-ended pile depends largely on the accuracy of the design method. Although the knowledge of shaft resistance has been understood quite well, the base resistance…

A new look at the phenomenon of offshore pile plugging

Abstract Open‐pipe piles are widely used for offshore structures. During the initial stage of installation, soil enters the pile at a rate equal to the pile penetration. As penetration continues, the…
