Abstract
Many theories3 on the stress analysis of groups of long, unsupported piles have been advanced without adequate substantiation by test data. This paper gives the results of tests on a model of a proposed deep-water bridge pier supported on long, tubular steel piles. The model conformed to the prototype except for the neglect of the restraining action of the foundation material. Pile stresses and pier deflections were measured in the model from which corresponding values may be determined in the prototype.
