Abstract
The paper illustrates, through practical examples, the effect of pile layout and pile cap thickness on the load distribution among different piles in a pile group. Study has been done considering square and rectangular pile cap configurations with different pile cap thickness being considered for each pile arrangement pattern. Each of these models is analyzed under axial load and biaxial moments to find out the variation in pile reactions. The baseline for comparison is considered to be the behavior of a rigid pile cap. The paper also demonstrates the effect of a pile, being directly placed under a load point, on the distribution of loads among the other piles of the group.
