The interaction between the resistance at pile end and the resistance of pile is researched through the indoor model test on the rock-socketed pile. The result shows that the rock stratum at the pile end influences the lateral resistance of pile; as the increase of strength of rock at the end
the lateral resistance of pile will increase; but the enhancement effect doesn’t occur at the whole side of pile
only near the end of pile. Inversely a good lateral rock stratum also increases the resistance at pile end. The load-bearing capability of pile will be improved by using the interaction relationship so as to optimize the design method of pile.
