Piles Subjected to Externally-Imposed Soil Movements
There are several circumstances in which piles are subjected to loading by the movement of the surrounding soil past the pile. Such circumstances include: (1) the consolidation of soft clays around a pile, leading to negative friction forces; (2) the expansion or contraction reactive clay around a pile, leading to either tensile or compressive additional forces; (3) the lateral movement of unstable or creeping slopes past piles, leading to additional bending moments and shears; (4) the lateral movement of soil during an earthquake, again inducing additional bending moment shears. The basis of analyzing piles subjected to such movements is described briefly. The behavior of piles subject to the above sources of soil movement are then described, and the implications for pile design are discussed.
