Study on Vertical Uplift Resistance Characteristics of Pre-Drilled Planted Piles in Boulder Strata by Wenli Liao, Qipeng Cai, Hao Lin, Jiajin Zhou, Shizhuo Su, Xiangyu Guo

“…The results indicate that the ultimate uplift bearing capacity of piles with boulders in the pile body is approximately twice that of piles without boulders, and this difference decreases with the increase of the distance between boulder and the pile end; under ultimate uplift loading, the pile end of a pile containing boulders contributes approximately 32% of the uplift bearing capacity, whereas the pile end without boulders contributes almost no uplift capacity; the presence of boulders increases the cross-sectional diameter of the pile, providing additional vertical support from the overlying soil, thereby significantly enhancing the ultimate uplift bearing capacity of the pile. …”
