What Is Batter Pile

Batter piles are used to transfer inclined and horizontal forces. In preliminary design, the load on batter piles is considered axial, though distribution of load between batter and vertical piles in a group depends on secondary bending and movement of a rigid pile cap. Free standing batter piles experience bending from their own weight or external forces, and those in loose or consolidating soil may become laterally loaded due to surrounding soil settlement, requiring precautions like permanent casing in consolidating clay.

What is Batter Pile?

Batter pile shall be used to transfer inclined load and horizontal forces. In the preliminary
design, the load on batter pile is generally considered to be axial.

The distribution of load between batter and vertical piles in a group may be determined
graphically or by analytic methods. Due consideration shall be given to secondary bending as
well as pile cap movement, particularly when the cap is rigid.

Free standing batter piles are subjected to bending moment due to their own weight, or
external forces from other sources.

Batter pile in loose fill or consolidating deposits may become laterally loaded due to settlement
of the surrounding soil. In consolidating clay, special precautions, like provision of permanent
casing, shall be taken.
