Based on the recommendations of Berezantzev et al., a new semi-empirical equation for settlement ratio of pile foundations in sand has been derived. The settlement ratios obtained using this equation have been compared with the actual measured values. The comparison indicates that the new equation predicts higher than actual settlement values and is therefore conservative. The new equation is therefore modified in the light of empirical evidence and presented in a generalised form which can be used for square, rectangular, and irregular pile groups. The procedures recommended for the use of the equation in preliminary designs are explained.
