迄今人们都把嵌石桩视为端承桩，本文报道国外两栋高层建筑下的嵌岩桩在上部结构施工期间及竣工使用后，对其荷载传递性状进行连续观测的结果。它们表明，这些桩均属于摩擦桩。这一结果与作者先前根据国内外１５０根嵌岩桩的静载试验结果所得出的结论相吻合，而与人们的传统观念迥然不同。 So far, people consider piled stone piles as end-bearing piles. This paper reports the results of continuous observation of the load transfer characteristics of the rock-socketed piles under two high-rise buildings abroad during and after the construction of the superstructure. They show that these piles belong to friction piles. This result is consistent with the author’s previous conclusions based on the static load test results of 150 rock-socketed piles at home and abroad, which are quite different from people’s traditional concepts.
