Abstract
Following Part I on vertical piles and Part II on inclined piles the present Part III deals with the general principles for estimating ultimate capacity of a pile bent under inclined load. The results of loading tests on two model pile bents with depth/diameter ratios of 13 and 23 for free standing bents and 15 and 25 for piled bents are presented. Test results on free standing and piled bents are reported in compact and dense states of packing of sand. Bents with vertical and batter piles have been tested under inclinations of load varying from vertical to horizontal.The experimental results are discussed and conclusions regarding the behavior of free standing and piled bents under inclination of load, type of bent, and pile cap are drawn.
