NUMERICAL ANALYSIS FOR EFFECTIVE PARAMETERS ON DRIVABILITY OF TAPERED PILES

piles are normally used in offshore applications where extremely heavy loads and low strength ground are present in these situations pile driving analysis is an important task. In this paper finite difference analyses have been performed to find effective parameters on pile driving phenomenon of tapered piles using FLAC3D software the approach considers an idealization of pile soil system in pile drivability .
