“…The method, which is based on undrained shear strength to calculate pile base resistance, can be divided into theoretical method and empirical method based on experimental data. Terzaghi [6], Meyerhof [7][8][9][10], Berezantzev [11], and Hu [12] proposed theoretical calculation methods of unit pile base resistance based on limit analysis theory according to the failure mode of soil in the pile end. Vesic [13] proposed a calculation method of pile base resistance based on the theory of cavity expansion, and the formula for calculating pile base resistance by all theoretical methods is N c S u , where N c is the coefficient of pile base resistance.…”

Pile base resistance is an important part of the ultimate bearing capacity, and the soil within a certain range above and below the pile end contributes to the pile base resistance. In general, pile base resistance is calculated according to the average value of soil strength within a certain range of the pile end in the current calculating method, so it is very important to determine the influence range of pile base resistance. Based on the soil parameters and the results of the cone penetration test of the LiuHua 11-1 site in the South China Sea, the difference of pile base resistance calculated by different methods, the regularity of pile base resistance affected by calculation depth range is revealed. Additionally, the numerical simulation method is used to analyze the distribution of a plastic zone around the pile end in homogeneous soil and stratified soil, the results show the influence depth range of pile base resistance is 0.12 D above the pile end to 0.83 D below the pile end in clay, and the influence depth range is 0.9 D above the pile end to 1.3 D below the pile end in stratified soil.
