AB - This paper discusses pile experiments performed by others at the West Delta (WD) 58A site in the Gulf of Mexico. An alternative interpretation is offered to that published previously which focuses on: (i) the slickensided shear-surfaces observed around the pile shaft, (ii) hydraulic conductivity in the shear zone, (iii) hypothetical explanations for anomalously low long term radial effective stress measurements, (iv) applying the Imperial College pile design method to under-consolidated clay profiles, (v) a re-analysis of the WD 58A pile capacities and (vi) aspects of the cyclic loading tests. It is shown that almost all aspects of the WD 58A pile tests can be explained in terms of an 'effective stress - interface shear' framework.
