Assessment of Stress in the Soil Surrounding the Axially Loaded Model Pile by Thin, Flexible Sensors

Foundation piles transfer the applied vertical load to the surrounding soil by skin friction and base resistance. These two components induce stress in the soil. The load transfer is still not fully recognized, and some pile load tests analyses have raised many doubts. The present paper aimed to mea...
