Abstract: In the present study, an analysis was conducted to assess the load-bearing capacity, shear stress distribution along the pile and soil interface, and load transmission to the depth for both conventional rigid piles and stepped rigid piles. The conventional pile had a diameter of 1m and a length of 20m. For the stepped rigid pile, the upper portion was reduced by 0.1D and 0.2D of the pile diameter, while the diameter of the lower portion was adjusted to maintain the total length and volume of the stepped rigid pile, similar to the conventional pile. The results indicate that the stepped rigid piles demonstrate superior load-bearing capacities compared to the conventional piles.
