NEGATIVE SKIN FRICTION ON PILES
Friction Drag, also known as Skin Friction Drag, is drag
caused by the friction of a fluid against the surface of an object that
is moving through it. It is directly proportional to the area of the
surface in contact with the fluid and increases with the square of the
velocity.
When a fill or load is placed on compressible soil deposit, consolidation of the compressible material takes place.

STANDARD PENETRATION TEST
The standard penetration test is the most commonly used in-situ test,
especially for cohesionless soils which can not be easily sampled. The
test is extremely useful for determining the relative density and the
angle of shearing resistance of cohesionless soils. It can also be used
to determine the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils.
