Majority of Piles are produced by cast-inplace methods for reasons of its features
that it is relatively noise-free, and permits freedom in pile diameter and arragement
of refars. Because of the characteristic of the methods. But the flexural and shear
behaviors of cast-in-place piles are worse than those of the general structures of
concrete. We reduce the allowable flexural compressive and shear stresses used in the
allowable stress design method. But we don't clearly know how much it can rduse them.
This paper report on the limit state designing of cast-in-place concrete piles.
