Reinforced Concrete filled Steel mini Piles
Hi all,
Can anyone advise me of where I can find info on the design of reinforced concrete filled steel mini piles (preferably UK). The piles would be approx. 220mm dia with a central length of rebar.
As I see it I need to consider design for load regarding the end bearing and skin friction but I am also interested in the limitation of the pile itself. As I see it the pile is acting as an axially loaded column (probably not load eccentricity) and the column is restrained by the soil. The axial capacity would be the combined capacity of the steel casing and the RC core. I am not sure how to take account of the restraint by the soil, how is this done and justified?
