Numerical analysis of negative skin friction on piles in soft clay

Negative skin friction is considered one of the problems in the design of piled foundations in soft soil. The negative skin friction induces an additional compressive force on the pile called the dragload as well as, an additional pile movement called the downdrag. Ignoring the effect of negative sk...
