In this Paper the mobilization of shear stress along a rough pile shaft in normally consolidated clay is considered in terms of the effective stresses acting in the clay. Theoretical predictions of the stress changes which occur in the soil adjacent to the pile shaft on loading are presented and shown to be in good agreement with some experimental results. For drained loading conditions reductions in radial effective stress generally occur, and the peak mobilized angle of shaft friction is shown to be independent of initial soil stresses before pile loading. The validity of the theoretical model is shown and the loading behaviour, drained and undrained, of driven piles is examined. Comparison between these predictions and field data suggests that fabric disturbance caused by pile installation may seriously affect pile capac...
