For the deformation calculation in pile group, the force transfer path is used here. They consider H'?Bx>X

pile and soil inside of pile group work together and use the force transfering angle to decide the e)!X9><J

under layers. The soil surrounding pile group area support the pile and soil inside of pile group. kj@#oLd%

For the group pile capacity, they use individual pile and add the pile group effect. The idea just CM9+h;Zm

Different ways and ideas for two calculations, it is a little bit hard to understand. But both are correct. t8]u#bx"?

BTW: in the beam design, the force transfer path also be used now in some countries.
