How to Calculate Efficiency Factor for Group of Piles?
Efficiency Factor for Group of Piles calculator uses Efficiency Factor = ((2*Average Peripheral Friction Stress of Block*(Thickness of Dam*Length of Soil Section+Width of Soil Section*Length of Soil Section))+(Thickness of Dam*Width of Group))/(Number of Piles*Single Pile Capacity) to calculate the Efficiency Factor, The Efficiency Factor for Group of Piles formula is defined as the ratio of the actual load capacity of the pile group to the sum of the individual capacities of the piles if they were to act independently. Efficiency Factor is denoted by Eg symbol.
How to calculate Efficiency Factor for Group of Piles using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Efficiency Factor for Group of Piles, enter Average Peripheral Friction Stress of Block (fs), Thickness of Dam (b), Length of Soil Section (L), Width of Soil Section (w), Width of Group (Wg), Number of Piles (n) & Single Pile Capacity (Qu) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Efficiency Factor for Group of Piles calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.719358 = ((2*15*(2.2*0.52+2.921*0.52))+(2.2*8))/(6*9.45).
