Abstract This paper presents preliminary results of an extensive programme of three-dimensional finite element analyses investigating the behavior of laterally loaded piles embedded in soft and stiff clay soils. This paper is primarily focused on larger piles with diameters varying between 4m...

... to the numerical simulation of pile in cohesive soil. On this basis, considering the softening of the soil under lateral cyclic loading, a cyclic p-y curve model based on in-situ cyclic T-bar test results is developed, and its correctness is verified by comparing with the p-y curve data obtained from...

...ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Tension leg platform (TLP) foundation piles could experience excessive lateral deformation induced by extreme TLP offsets which might jeopardize the structural integrity. Provision of fins onto pile top is evolving as an alternative to improve pile lateral performance...

... ABSTRACT Offshore wind power has a huge potential growth as a kind of renewable energy. Today one of the most common concepts for wind turbine foundations is the very large-diameter monopile. The conventional method for assessment of steel-pipe pile lateral performance is the application of p...

... ABSTRACT Determining the response of the laterally loaded piles analytically is one of the challenging problems due to the complexity of soil-pile interaction models and the difficulty to solve governing difference equations. In this paper, a general solution for laterally loaded piles...

... Abstract This paper reports the results from centrifuge model tests undertaken to provide insight into the behavior of a bucket foundation subjected to undrained and drained lateral loadings. The imposed lateral load induced significant overturning moment, simulating the loading conditions...

... Abstract Offshore piles including top loaded suction piles have often been installed on a sloping seabed due to the complex bathymetries and near-surface geohazards. Since the load transfer mechanism for a laterally loaded pile is complex when it is located on a sloping seabed, the currently...

... ABSTRACT This article provides an insight into the influence of the soil variability on the performance of a monopile type of wind turbine foundations subjected to long-term lateral cyclic loading. Stochastic simulation is performed based on a statistical model of the soil stiffness...

... ABSTRACT Single-pole transmission structures which are supported by drilled shaft foundations are usually subjected to large overturning moments with modest vertical and lateral loads. To analyze the behavior of the drilled shaft under such loading conditions, an analytical model was developed...

... ABSTRACT Two 3-D numerical procedures, Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Method (FDM), are used to analyze laterally loaded piles in clay. Two field-measured case studies, one in soft clay and the other one in stiff clay, are modeled in this numerical study. The monotonically...

Within the framework of an improved buckling analysis, experimental and numerical investigations of a laterally loaded pile were conducted. In this paper, the results provided by several numerical models are compared to experimental data...
