BITUMEN SELECTION FOR REDUCTION OF DOWNDRAG ON PILES. DISCUSSION (1999)

The author has addressed the pile foundation engineering quandary of negative skin friction by reducing it with a bitumen coat applied to the pile surface. Unfortunately, the author's introductory example intended to portray the need for the bitumen coat is considerably off-base.
