Statnamic Lateral Load Testing and Analysis of a Drilled Shaft in Liquefied Sand
… explosive charges. An attempt to develop p-y curves from strain data along the pile was made. Due to low quality and lack of strain data, p-y curves along the test shaft could not be reliably determined. Therefore, the statnamic load tests were analyzed using a ten degree-of-freedom model of …

Cyclic behaviour of monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines in clay
… is done via usage of the well established p-y curves. However, there are issues with the usage of the p-y curves. Firstly, the curves may be unsuitable to model the monopile’s behaviour as it is expected to behave similarly to a rigid pile rather than flexibly. Secondly, the curves may not …

Seismic Response of Pile Foundations in Soft Clays and Layered Soils
… measured pile bending moments to establish p-y curves and compared with the corresponding curves recommended by design standards. The drawbacks of adopting p-y curves developed for monotonic or cyclic loading to dynamic loading conditions were highlighted through this comparison. The influence …

Interação solo-estaca de plataformas offshore
… 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 "T-Z" curves, are used in the Analysis of …

Use of thermo-active piling for slope stabilisation
… an analytical model for defining p-y curves in the case of a heated square thermo-active pile belonging to a row of stabilising piles embedded in unsaturated soils was developed. The model was obtained by coupling the p-y Duncan and Evans (1982) model for c-φ soils with that describing …

Investigation of the Resistance of Pile Caps to Lateral Loading
… for calculating pile cap resistance-deflection curves (p-y curves) was developed during this study, and has been programmed in the spreadsheet called PYCAP. A practical, rational, and systematic procedure was developed for assessing and quantifying the lateral resistance that pile caps provide …

Response of Pile-Supported T-Walls to Fill Loading and Flood Loading Based on Physical Model Studies and Numerical Analyses
… pile response is analyzed using traditional p-y curves and a beam on elastic foundation formulation. This procedure shows good agreement with the numerical model results for a range of conditions. To demonstrate the application of the procedure, the same example problem that is analyzed …

Full-Scale Lateral-Load Tests of a 3x5 Pile Group in Soft Clays and Silts
<p>A series of static lateral 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 …
