The first part of the paper summarizes the results of recent research on the bearing capacity of spread foundations of various shapes under a central vertical load and outlines the effects of foundation depth, eccentricity and inclination of the load. Simple formulae have been derived for use in practice and their application to the design of rigid and flexible foundations is briefly indicated.The second part of the paper discusses the bearing capacity of single piles under vertical and inclined loads. The bearing capacity of piled foundations and free-standing pile groups is outlined, and the results of model tests on pile groups under central and eccentric loads are briefly analysed in relation to some problems in practice.

Piled Foundations

The ultimate bearing capacity of rigid vertical and batter piles and pile groups in clay has been determined under various inclinations of the load, varying from the vertical to horizontal directions. The results of load tests on single model piles of different lengths and inclinations and on free-standing groups and piled foundations are compared with theoretical estimates. The influence of load inclination on the bearing capacity can be represented by simple interaction relationships between the axial and normal components of the ultimate load. The effect of eccentricity of the load on the ultimate bearing capacity of pile groups is discussed on the basis of previous theory and model test results.

Rigid Walls

The ultimate lateral resistance and the lateral deflection at working loads of rigid vertical walls and piles with a free head subjected to horizontal load and embedded in two-layered soils of sand and clay have been investigated. Part 1 deals with the behaviour of rigid walls, and the analyses are compared with the results of model wall tests in layered soils. Part 2 treats the behaviour of rigid piles, and the analyses are compared with the results of model tests on piles and pile groups in layered soils and some field case records.

Following Part I on vertical piles and Part II on inclined piles the present Part III deals with the general principles for estimating ultimate capacity of a pile bent under inclined load. The results of loading tests on two model pile bents with depth/diameter ratios of 13 and 23 for free standing bents and 15 and 25 for piled bents are presented. Test results on free standing and piled bents are reported in compact and dense states of packing of sand. Bents with vertical and batter piles have been tested under inclinations of load varying from vertical to horizontal.The experimental results are discussed and conclusions regarding the behavior of free standing and piled bents under inclination of load, type of bent, and pile cap are drawn.
