Under　the　action　of　vertical　loading,　batter　piles　rarely　appear　individually,　as　they　undergo　horizontal　and　vertical　displacements　at　the　same　time　and　produce　a　sizeable　additional　bending　moment.　However,　previous　studies　have　mainly　focused　on　a　single　batter　pile,　which　is　inconsistent　with　engineering　practices.　Although　single　pile　tests　can　easily　reveal　its　working　behavior,　they　also　ignore　two　important　factors,　namely,　the　internal　force　redistribution　caused　by　the　deformation　limitation　of　the　mirror-like　pile,　and　the　interaction　between　the　symmetrical　piles　and　＂clamped＂　soil　(the　soil　between　two　symmetrical　piles).　Therefore,　this　paper　took　symmetrical　batter　piles　as　the　test　object　to　explore　the　influence　of　the　two　factors　on　the　load　transfer　mechanism.　Moreover,　the　deformation　mode,　distribution　of　inertial　forces,　and　group　effect　of　symmetrical　batter　piles　were　also　discussed.　The　results　showed　that　the　＂clamping　effect＂　caused　by　the　pile　deformation　had　a　significant　impact　on　the　load　transfer.　Under　vertical　loading,　the　flexible　symmetrical　floating　batter　piles　were　the　only　deformation　mode.　Under　the　constraint　of　the　cap　and　mirror-like　batter　piles,　the　symmetrical　conformation　partially　compensated　for　the　disadvantage　of　the　additional　bending　moment.
