Base Inclination Factor for Raking Pile
Base Inclination Factor for Raking Pile
(OP)
Hello, I am using API guidance to design a series of raking piles for an offshore platform. The piles are inclined at 12.5°, however, I am not aware of an inclination factor that should be applied to the end bearing resistance of a piled foundation. Is there any other guidance out there?
To note, I am not considering any environmental loading on the pile at present, it is a preliminary design.
