A simple method for predicting cohesive pile deformations from displacement pile installation induced ground deformations
Paper in proceeding, 2024

Prediction of ground deformations resulting from the installation of displacement piles in greenfield conditions can be calculated using theoretical solutions such as the shallow strain path method (SSPM). The induced ground deformation from piling work may cause damage to nearby buildings deep
foundations. To study this potential damage, complex finite-element calculations may be necessary. In this article, a simple approach using the SSPM is presented for estimating the horizontal deformation of existing piles induced by nearby displacement pile installation. The method was based on the results from actual field measurements and finite-element calculations.
