Numerical study on pile group efficiency for piles embedded in cohesive and cohesionless soils
This paper aims to study the efficiency of pile groups with various numbers of piles and pile spacing. Axial loading tests on pile groups and also single piles were simulated using a three-dimensional finite element program to obtain the load-settlement curve and the ultimate bearing capacity of the piles which was later used to estimate the pile group efficiency. In this study, the piles were embedded in cohesive and cohesionless soils. The stress-strain responses of the soils and the concrete pile and pile cap were simulated using the Mohr-Coulomb and the linear elastic models, respectively. The numerical-based pile group efficiencies were then compared to those computed using the published formulas. To verify the findings, a series of parametric studies on pile groups embedded in stratified soil was performed where the parameters of the soils were derived based on a back analysis on a case study of a single pile axial loading test in South Jakarta. The results show that the axial pile group efficiency in cohesive soil would be less than or equal to one, whereas in cohesionless soil would be more than or equal to one, especially at pile spacing more than three times the pile diameter. Meanwhile, similar results as found in cohesionless soil were obtained for the stratified soil case.
