Theoretical solutions dependent on vertical shearing mechanisms are derived by means of equilibrium analyses to calculate the effective vertical stress of the surrounding soil, the unit positive (or negative) shaft friction, and the axial force (or dragload) of the H-pile. They are calibrated by measured axial force and dragload of centrifuge model tests. In addition, the effects of vertical shearing on the load transfer mechanism of the H-pile are investigated.
