Empirical correlations or load-deformation compatibility analyses are usually done to estimate shaft settlements . Other methods used to estimate settlement of drilled shafts, singly or in groups, are identical to those used for piles.

The maximum load that can be sustained by shallow foundation elements due to the bearing capacity is a function of the cohesion and friction angle of bearing soils as well as the width B and shape of the foundation. The net bearing capacity per unit area, qu, of a long footing is con ventionally expressed as:

A cluster of piles or several piles in a row are called group of piles.The stability of the pile groups is dictated by the pile group geometry and the direction and location of the load, as well as by subsurface conditions.

When the piles are inserted in cohesive soils then the ultimate load can calculated by:
