Bearing capacity assessment of bored piles equipped with expander body systems using the mechanics of unsaturated soils

Bearing capacity of single piles are occasionally predicted using the renowned theoretical methods (α and β methods). These methods are based on laboratory tests, which can be time-consuming, but also applicable in foundation engineering practice for unsaturated soils. Full-scale pile load tests wer...
