An Analysis of the Impact Exerted on Bearing Capacity of Pier and Pile after Increasing Pile Cap Height

An analysis was carried out in this paper on the bearing capacity of pier pile and seismic performance rule when the low-pile cap is increased by 1 meter, 2 meters, and 3 meters. The bottom of the pile cap of pier no. 11 of Minjiang River bridge faces three “lows”: 7.6 meters lower than island, 4.6...
