Lateral Response of Pile Under Passive Loading Conditions in Horizontal and Sloped Grounds
In most cases, the pile foundation is designed to transfer the direct loads on its head to the soil medium. In the case of passive piles, the lateral soil movement acts as an indirect load to the pile foundations. The piles near the embankment, the piles used in slope stabilizations, piles closer to the tunnels, the piles in the onshore berthing structures, etc., are high in the probability of passive loads. This present study focuses on the soil-structure interaction problems in the pile foundations due to the influence of passive loading conditions. In this numerical study, a single pile is considered with passive loading conditions on horizontal and a crest of sloping grounds (1V:2.5H, 1V:2H, and 1V:1.5H) with the homogenous sandy soil profile with varying relative densities 30%, 45%, and 70%. The varying surcharge loads are considered to achieve the passive loading conditions. Based on the interaction between the active wedge of a pile and the pressure bulb of the surcharge loads, the varying surcharge loads are considered at two locations (A and B). The numerical model results show that the pile will undergo translations and rotations on horizontal and sloping grounds due to lateral passive loading to the pile. The surcharge load near the pile will increase the pile head's lateral displacements, and the surcharge load away from the pile will raise the pile base's lateral displacements.
