Simulating the model for consolidation of short bored pile in pure friction soil media

In this paper, the analysis of a numerical study for consolidation analysis of short bored pile subjected to axial loads is presented. An analysis of short-bored pile is performed using finite element analysis software Abaqus CAE with the base of procured experimental data in sand media and a comparative analysis on Ansys FEA. Three models in combination of pile and footing system were developed by the application of incremental axial load for which the displacement upon each load was analyzed taking in consideration the stresses and strains. A parametric study was conducted to study the effect of load on and it’s observed displacement on the pile with or without footing. A close correlation is found between the results obtained by the FE models and the Experimental Model solution. The results indicates that the load bearing capacity of pile–footing system increases drastically when both acts together instead of acting individually.
