What is your opinion on the use of effective stress versus total stress approach in the determination of shaft resistance for the design of driven and bored pile foundations in soft and stiff soils. What are the limitations you percieve in your practice in relation to obtaining suitable parameters for these soil types?. What approach/approaches do you use for design, are you comfortable with it/them and why?.
