This study specifically explores the effects of changes in socket lengths and pile diameters on the uplift load-carrying capacity of the pile in soft, intact rock conditions (UCS < 25 MPa). The numerical parametric study conducted in this research provides valuable insights into the behaviour and performance of rock-socketed piles subjected to uplift forces. The analysis of uplift load-displacement curves contributes to understanding pile uplift load-carrying capacity. The study reveals a direct relationship between socket length and uplift load-carrying capacity, with longer socket lengths leading to more significant elastic deformation and higher uplift load-carrying capacity. The rock’s unconfined compressive strength (UCS) also influences the load-carrying capacity even within the category of soft rock classification. Initially, as the socket length increases, the uplift capacity also increases. Although longer socketing lengths of piles can provide higher ultimate load values, however, the permissible pile deformation restricts their use in the design.
