Effects of the Tip Location on Single Piles Subjected to Surcharge and Axial Loads

When applying axial load on piles subjected to negative skin friction (NSF), the yielded NSF is gradually eliminated. The process is notably influenced by the tip location (Y) and still a lack of understanding. This paper reports three-dimensional numerical simulations with tip locations Y=1.00 pile...
