The transfer of axial column force to an eccentric pile was investigated using 3D FEM analysis, with variations in pile length and support conditions. The results are as follows:
1. The axial force at the pile head increases as the pile length increases.
2. The rate of decrease in pile-head axial force due to eccentricity becomes more gradual as the pile length increases.
3. Differences in pile-head moment attributable to pile length are minimal.
