Abstract:

Foundation failure - though rare - has occurred in many a construction project. Such a failure is more probable for a pile foundation than any other type of foundation. The study here is an investigation of an anticipated pile failure and the behaviour of the super structure supported on the pile as a soil-structure interaction problem. The study closely follows the post failure pattern of the displacements, forces and moments of the superstructure. The load transfer and redistribution to the adjacent columns and the surrounding soil is also investigated.
