Rock-socketed piles are commonly used in foundations built in soft ground, and thus, their bearing capacity is a key issue of universal concern in research, design and construction. The accurate prediction of the ultimate bearing capacity (Qu) of rock-socketed piles is a difficult task due to the un...
