CO~~IRETE
Despite the considerable progress that has k n m e during the Lsst few decades in
understanding the interaction of a pile and the surrounding soil, the design of pile
foundations is still very much an art with empirical methods based on experience stiU
being used in estitnating the M n g capacity of piles. Therefore, the methods given in
this dwument for. the interpretation of site investigation data should merely serve as
guidelines, and the actd carrying capacity ofpilw should still be confirmed ushg pile
loadtestS.

When such piles are founded on sands or clays, the behaviour o f the group is different
from that of a single pile. Therefore, in such W, group effect should be considered.
Therefore, from a static analysis, the ultimate wrying capacity of a single pile can be
obtained as

The skin fktion that is devclopbd on a pile shaft is influenced considerably by the method of

The settlement (S,) af a single pile under working load should be first determined.
The settlement
The set&lementof a pile group in clays should be determined using mnddation theory assuming
that the pile group behaves as an equivalent raft which has dimensions in plan equal to the
overall dimensions of the group and which can bt assumed to be located at a depth of (2/3) of
the length of the piles.

When the soii is setting 'downwards relative to a pile, no suppott for cumpressivc loads from
skin friction can be assumed over the length of the pile shaft.
