Abstract

When the horizontal load per pile exceeds what can be withstood by a vertical pile, battered piles are used in conjunction with vertical piles to improve the overall efficiency of the pile – soil system as they transmit the applied lateral loads partly in axial compression, rather than through shear and bending when only vertical piles are used. A numerical analysis is conducted on a 3D pile raft model with vertical piles and another with inclined piles to check the deformations and other forces for both types of piles
