Summary:The structural behavior of pile caps with sockets embedded is influenced by interface of column-socket, which can be smooth or rough. With intent to analyze the behavior of two pile caps with embedded socket, considering the friction between the column and the socket, with eccentric normal load, the numerical simulations were carried out, using a program based on the Finite Element Methods (FEM). In the numerical analysis the non-linear behavior of materials was considered, also the friction between the column and the socket. It was considered perfect bond between the reinforcement and the concrete around. It was observed that the embedded length is preponderant factor in the structural behavior of the analyzed element. O comportamento estrutural dos blocos sobre estacas com cálice embutido é influenciado pelo tipo de interface pilar-cálice, a qual pode ser lisa ou rugosa. Com o objetivo de analisar o comportamento de blocos sobre duas estacas com cálice embutido, considerando a rugosidade da interface pilar-cálice, submetido à ação de força normal excêntrica, realizaram-se simulações numéricas, desenvolvidas em programa de computador baseado no método dos elementos finitos - MEF. Na análise numérica as não-linearidades físicas dos materiais concreto e aço foram consideradas, como também o atrito nas interfaces entre as paredes do pilar e do cálice. Considerou-se aderência perfeita entre as barras de aço das armaduras com o concreto do entorno. Observou-se que o comprimento de embutimento do pilar no interior do bloco é fator preponderante no comportamento estrutural do elemento em análise.
