Behaviour of Piles Subjected to Lateral Soil Movements

L. T. Chen / H. G. Poulos

This paper presents a theoretical procedure for analyzing the lateral response of piles subjected to lateral soil movements. The lateral pile response is computed via a simplified boundary element analysis, using a specified free-filed soil movement profile. For pile groups, the group effect may need to be pre-assessed via a finite element analysis. Based on an appropriate assessment of the lateral soil movement, soil Young's modulus and limiting pile-soil contact pressure, the present method can generally give a satisfactory prediction of the pile response, as demonstrated via a study of some model tests and published case histories.
