Example 25: Forces in piles of a pile group 
Description of the problem
To verify the mathematical model of
ELPLA
for determining pile forces of pile groups under
a pile cap, results of a pile group obtained by
Bakhoum
(1992) (Example 5.19, page 592) are compared with those obtained by
ELPLA.
A pile cap on 24 vertical piles is considered as shown in
Figure 59. It is required to determine the force in each pile of the group due to a vertical load
of N
= 8000 [kN] acting on the pile cap with eccentricities
ex
= 1.4 [m] and
ey
= 1.8 [m] in both
x-
and y-directions. |
