Abstract
Stiffness constants and flexibility coefficients of single piles and interaction factors are presented to facilitate the analysis of pile groups subjected to static vertical loads. A continuous transition from friction to end-bearing piles is accounted for. A new type of interaction factor, established from subgroups of five piles, is introduced for end-bearing piles. This interaction factor allows for the stiffening effect of the piles occurring between the two reference piles. This feature improves the accuracy of group analysis for end-bearing piles. Numerical results for axially loaded single piles and pile groups are presented for a wide range of pile and soil parameters. The results are applicable toboth rigid and flexible caps. Key words: piles, pile group, settlement, interaction
