Pile group
Effected by overlapping stress
zones from individual piles in
group
Pile arrangement
Grid arrangement> Diamond
arrangement
Equalized load on each single
pile (reduces diff. set.)
Two row up is preferable
(reduces deviation prob.)
Small pile spacing
inefficiency of g.cap
Large spacing
expensive pile cap
Practically s [3D, 3.5D]

Close spacing -> GE < 1, Block failure

Wide spacing -> GE > 1, N-pile failure
GE = 1 -> Optimal design
Usually obtained when s ~ 3D
