Piles are often used in groups to carry greater loads to deeper, stronger soil strata. For the same average load per pile, groups settle more than single piles due to overlapping of deformations in the soil medium.

The GEMS – Pile Group Settlement Analysis software uses modern analytical techniques based on the subsurface soil profile, pile dimensions and group geometry to estimate the pile group settlement. The software can also be used to choose pile length, cross-section, and pile spacing towards optimizing the group design.
