PILE BEARING CAPACITY
ANALYSIS
Pile Bearing Capacity
• Single Pile
• Pile Group
Pile Bearing Capacity of
Single Pile
• Compression capacity
• Tension capacity
• Lateral capacity
• Efficiency
• Group settlement
Issues Relating to Pile
Capacity
Keywords: load, displacement, soft clay, stiff clay, sand, cast in place
pile, driven pile, with bell
• Load deformation relationship
•Shaft resistance of soft clay and sand are fully mobilized, i.e. reach its maximum
value, at relatively small pile displacement.
