Description
Summary:A study is made on the ultimate bearing capacity of Bakau piles vertically loaded singly and in groups embedded in cohesive soil. The different methods used to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of Bakau piles show that the effect of the groups is significant. Different group spacing adopted were 3d, 6d and 9d. The calculations also include a well-define shaft resistance of Bakau piles. More important problem in practice is to specify the economical spacing of the Bakau piles. Different methods are used to determine the efficiency of the groups of bakau piles. From the work carried out, the soil properties for a certain site effect the method of analysing the bearing capacity and efficiency.
