Load transfer tests of single pile and single pile with cap are conducted. The main characteristics of load transfer are as follows:the load on pile top is decreased while the total load increased. The cap on pile top makes distribution of axial force gently
frictional resistance decreased
and transfer function softened at upper pile shaft; meanwhile
frictional resistance at the rest increased; rigidity of pile top is changed a little.
