Negative skin friction (down-drag) in subsiding ground
Understanding down-drag forces caused by subsiding upper clay layers pulling down on bored pile shafts and mitigation designs.
Negative skin friction mechanisms
In subsiding ground, consolidating clay drags down the pile shaft; engineers factor this additional load into safe capacity designs.
