OBSERVATIONS OF FULL-SCALE PILE GROUP PERFORMANCE

The capacity of an isolated control pile and pile group capacity, or "failure load," is evaluated to assess efficiency and settlement ratio. Four methods used by the authors in their analysis of the literature listed in the bibliography are described. In the terminal linearity method, point of failure is defined as the point on the load-settlement curve where the curve assumes a final linear shape.
