11.4.6 Combined Flexure and Axial Compression Combined axial and flexure checks are only applied to pile groups with vertical piles.
At this time,
AASHTO (2014) does not have a recommendation to include battered piles. For combined flexure and
compression of vertical piles, AASHTO (2014) requires the factored Structural Limit State to satisfy the following Limit State checks. If
