The ultimate bearing capacity of rigid vertical and batter piles and pile groups in clay has been determined under various inclinations of the load, varying from the vertical to horizontal directions. The results of load tests on single model piles of different lengths and inclinations and on free-standing groups and piled foundations are compared with theoretical estimates. The influence of load inclination on the bearing capacity can be represented by simple interaction relationships between the axial and normal components of the ultimate load. The effect of eccentricity of the load on the ultimate bearing capacity of pile groups is discussed on the basis of previous theory and model test results.

An investigation is made of the eccentricity and inclination factors for estimating the ultimate bearing capacity of rigid single piles in homogeneous soils under eccentric and inclined loads. For combined eccentric inclined loads the corresponding theoretical factors are obtained by combining inclination factors and eccentricity factors, which are derived from extending the theory of inclination factors for shallow strip footings. The theoretical values of inclination factors, eccentricity factors, and eccentric inclination factors are compared with some experimental results of model piles in sand and clay. Key words: bearing capacity, clay, eccentricity factors, eccentric inclination factors, inclination factors, rigid piles, sand, ultimate load.

The ultimate bearing capacity of flexible single model piles and small pile groups of timber and nylon in loose sand and soft clay has been determined under various combinations of eccentricity and inclination of the load varying in direction from vertical to horizontal. The results of the load tests are presented in the form of polar bearing capacity diagrams and they are compared with the theoretical estimates based on the concept of an effective embedment depth in terms of the behaviour of equivalent rigid piles. Reasonable agreement has been found between the observed and predicted ultimate bearing capacity of flexible piles under any combination of eccentricity and inclination of loads. Key words: flexible piles, pile groups, ultimate bearing capacity, ultimate moment, model test, eccentric load, inclined load, sand, clay.

Inclined Loads

The ultimate bearing capacity of footings subjected to axially inclined loads was investigated experimentally by conducting tests on model strip and circular footings on homogeneous sand and clay. The results were analyzed to determine the inclination factors, depth factors, and shape factors incorporated in the general bearing capacity equation for shallow foundations. These values are compared with the recommended values given in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual.

Theory And Model

The ultimate bearing capacity of rigid vertical and batter piles and pile groups in layered sand has been determined under various inclinations of the load varying from the vertical to horizontal directions. The results of load tests on single model piles of different inclinations and on free-standing groups are compared with theoretical estimates. The influence of load inclination on the bearing capacity can be represented by simple interaction relationships between the axial and normal components of the ultimate load. The effect of eccentricity of the load on the ultimate bearing capacity of pile groups is discussed on the basis of previous theory and model test results.
