Finite element analysis of time dependent settlements around pile structures

The purpose of this thesis is to use a finite element procedure for predicting settlement, rate of settlement and negative skin friction effects and downdrag force on a pile caused by consolidation of the surrounding soils. The influence of negative skin friction caused by consolidation due to grav...
