Probabilistic analysis of laterally loaded piles
Includes bibliographical references (pages 66-74).

Three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis of laterally loaded piles in clay
Behavior of laterally loaded single piles and pile groups in fine grained soils are investigated using a non-linear finite element methodology. The purpose is to gather behavioral information that would help improve our knowledge of pile behavior and enhance the applicability of some existing …

Reliability analysis of non-linear (p-y) laterally loaded piles embedded in stiff clay below water table
Laterally loaded piles are used in some of the very important structures. Therefore, the economical design of such piling is necessary, in which a proper balance among initial cost, risk of failure, and consequences of

An Investigation and Comparison of Accepted Design Methodologies for the Analysis of Laterally Loaded Foundations
Single piles and pile groups are frequently subjected to high lateral forces. The safety and functionality of many structures depends on the ability of the supporting pile foundation to resist the resulting lateral forces. In the analysis and design of laterally loaded piles, two criterions usually …

Análise de esforços em estruturas aporticadas com fundações em estacas
… of loads acting on bridge frames supported by piles or bored piles under the condition of horizontal loading. Theories on laterally loaded piles are discussed and an application of the stiffness method to the analysis of plane frames by means of digital computers is shown. ln the last Chapter a …

Analysis of shallow and deep foundations using soil-structure interaction techniques
… and soil moduli for a range of axially and laterally loaded pile-soil configurations. The results are verified by comparison with more rigorous solutions and the measured performance of single piles.<br/><br/>The work is extended to consider the interaction of axially and laterally loaded …

Reliability of Serviceability and Strength of Deep Foundations Embedded in (p-y) Sand Below Water Table Subjected to Lateral Cyclic Loading
Piles are used in many engineering applications especially when we have weak soil that cannot support the proposed structure, also when we have a scour issue with the soil (especially in designing foundations for bridges), or when large uplift capacity is needed. In many engineering applications …

Interação solo-estaca de plataformas offshore
… from laboratory tests or using full scale loaded piles. The API Code through the "P-Y" curves, defines the stress-strain soil characteristics for laterally loaded piles. Although, the stress-strain relationship for axial behaviour is not well defined by the Codes, a set of curves called the …

Design methods for deep foundations
… of a simplified procedure for analyzing laterally loaded piles and drilled shafts. A computer program that can be used to estimate deflections and maximum bending moments in single fixed-head piles (or drilled shafts) and in groups of fixed-head piles (or drilled shafts) was developed. …

Investigation of the Resistance of Pile Caps to Lateral Loading
… These foundations consist of groups of piles coupled together by concrete pile caps. These pile caps, which are often massive and deeply buried, would be expected to provide significant resistance to lateral loads. However, practical procedures for computing the resistance of pile caps …

Stochastic dynamic response of wood structural systems
… concrete structures, braced steel frames and laterally loaded piles. Potential practical applications of the analysis method and of the response statistics obtained from the analysis are presented. The present work is the first known attempt to use random vibration techniques in studying the …

Seismic Analysis and Response of Highway Bridges with Hybrid Isolation
… lateral loads without damaging the underlying piles.This technique is applicable to a wide range of bridges including those not suitable for full isolation, such as a bridge with a continuous superstructure that is monolithic with its piers. Hybrid isolation may be used for both new …

Response of Pile-Supported T-Walls to Fill Loading and Flood Loading Based on Physical Model Studies and Numerical Analyses
… like an inverted "T" and supported by batter piles, are commonly used by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to protect low-lying portions of New Orleans and other areas. The design of a T-wall in southern Louisiana is complex, as the structure needs to resist both 1) large …

Full-Scale Lateral-Load Tests of a 3x5 Pile Group in Soft Clays and Silts
… load tests were conducted on a group of fifteen piles arranged in a 3x5 pattern. The piles were placed at a center-to-center spacing of 3.92 pile diameters. A single isolated pile was also tested for comparison to the group response. The subsurface profile consisted of cohesive layers of soft to …
