Abstract
To investigate effects of existing piles on the vertical bearing capacity of new piles, when piles of an old building left derelict, vertical loading centrifuge tests were performed on a new pile located at the center of 2 × 2 existing piles. Results suggest the following conclusion:(1) The existing piles increase the shaft resistance of the rough surface new pile, because the confining pressure around the new pile increases. (2) The existing piles do not affect on the shaft resistance and point load of the smooth surface new pile, because the confining pressure variation around the new pile is small.
