Abstract

Abstract Negative skin friction (NSF) effect on pile foundation design attracts the attention of geotechnical engineers and requires comprehensive research. However, the ways of consideration of NSF for the pile foundation design vary with different design codes. This study aims to compare design code requirements adhering to Construction Codes and Regulations (i.e., SNiP), Eurocode 7 (EC7), Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC), and AASHTO for the pile foundation design subjected to NSF and provide insights for the understanding effect of NSF on the behavior of pile foundation. The overall objective is achieved by designing three cases of a driven pile for given design conditions in Astana city. Then, a sensitivity analysis was performed to estimate the effects of the dimensions of the pile foundation and the shear strength of soils on the bearing resistance. The comparative analysis shows that pile foundation design adhering to CHBDC and AASHTO results in a more conservative strategy than SNiP and EC7 when considering Kazakhstani soil engineering conditions.
