Elastic Solutions for Laterally Loaded Piles
Laterally loaded piles are analyzed using the Fourier FEM. The analysis is performed for piles embedded in single-layer elastic soil with constant and linearly varying modulus and in two-layer elastic soil with constant modulus within each layer. The pile responses were observed to be functions of the relative stiffness of pile and soil, and of the pile slenderness ratio. Based on the analysis, equations describing pile head deflection, rotation, and maximum bending moment are proposed for flexible long piles and stubby rigid piles. These design equations are developed after plotting the pile responses as functions of pile-soil stiffness ratio and pile slenderness ratio. These plots can also be used as design charts. Design examples illustrating the use of the analysis are provided.
