Abstract
The behaviour of single free-head model flexible vertical and batter piles under the general case of eccentric and inclined loads in two-layered soil is investigated. The bearing capacity of the piles is found to depend on the layered structure, the eccentricity and inclination of the load, and the pile batter. The theoretical estimates of ultimate loads obtained from semiempirical relations agree fairly well with the test results. Key words : bearing capacity, deformation, batter pile, eccentricity factor, eccentric load, inclination factor, inclined load, layered soil, model test, sand, clay.
