Cohesionless Soil (Analysis for Drained Conditions)
The same methods as for the analysis of single pile are used to calculate the vertical bearing capacity of a pile group:
The pile group vertical bearing capacity is provided by:
where: | n | - | number of piles in a group |
Rc | - | vertical bearing capacity of single pile | |
ηg | - |
The actual verification analysis is carried out according to the factors of safety or the theory of limit states.
