For the deformation calculation in pile group, the force transfer path is used here. They consider sC_doh_M

pile and soil inside of pile group work together and use the force transfering angle to decide the CUx-k|\

For the group pile capacity, they use individual pile and add the pile group effect. The idea just kR<\iT0j

Different ways and ideas for two calculations, it is a little bit hard to understand. But both are correct. =3=8oF x8

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