Abstract

The behaviour of normal and shear stresses inside the body of squared pile caps, are studied by finite element F.E. The aim of the study is to give insight into the parameters affecting the stress distribution parameters such as, geometrical properties of the cap, different loading  conditions (concentric, inclined, eccentric in one two directions), and different supporting conditions (normal piles and large piles are considered). Three dimensional elastic body was used to represent the pile cap while point supports were used to represent the piles.
