Geocentrix Repute - Intelligent pile design and analysis

4 x 4 pile group in firm to stiff clay

4 x 4 pile group embedded in firm to stiff clay, with an underlying rigid layer at 48m from ground level [1].

The piles are 24m long, 0.6m in diameter, and are spaced at 1.8m centre-to-centre, as shown below.
