Which load-redistribution outcome occurs when differential settlement impacts jacketed pile-supported bridge columns?

💡 Explanation

Increased settlement causes load redistribution between piles via soil-structure interaction because soil stiffness varies; therefore, axial compression increases especially within adjacent jacketed piles rather than merely reducing shear or damping effects, due to the 'soil-jacket-transfer' mechanism.
