Ultimate Pile Capacity for Eccentric Inclined Load
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 3
Abstract
The ultimate bearing capacity of rigid piles and pile groups in sand has been determined under various combinations of eccentricity and inclination of the load varying from the vertical to horizontal directions. The results of load tests on single model piles and free‐standing groups are compared with theoretical estimates. The influence of eccentricity and inclination of the load on the bearing capacity can be represented by simple interaction relationships between the ultimate loads and moments and between the axial and normal components of the ultimate load. The effect of a pile cap resting on the soil in piled foundations is examined on the basis of previous theory and model test results.
