On the Applicability of the Influence Function Obtained from Single-Pile Calculations for the Calculation of Pile Groups

  • SOIL MECHANICS
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The results of FEM calculations of the settlement of individual piles and pile groups are presented. A relation is shown between the additional settlements of unloaded piles and the settlements of the soil around loaded piles. The settlements of loaded and unloaded piles are found to decrease with increasing number of piles in a group (reinforcement effect).
