GROUP OF PILES - EUROCODE 7

[Djidji444]

Hello!
Does Eurocode 7 cover the calculation of the bearing capacity of a group of piles and the calculation of the settlement of a group of piles? and if not, how to check these calculations and stay within Eurocode 7? Should you check these calculations at all if you are doing a pile construction project according to Eurocode 7 or not?

Thanks in advance

The answer is yes. There are clauses for group effect and settlement but does not suggest any methods .

I will suggest you to look ,
- Recommendations on Piling (EA-Pfähle) ( by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geotechnik e.V.),
- Decoding Eurocode 7 ( by Andrew Bond and Andrew Harris )

He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock..
