Drained 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:
- NAVFAC DM 7.2
- Effective Stress Method
- API method
- FHWA GEC 010
- CSN 73 1002
- CSN 73 1004
- SP 24.13330.2021
- SRPS EN 1997
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.
