... is proposed for multilayered soil systems with any forms of p-y curves. The generalized solution of laterally loaded pile was formulated based on the transfer matrix approach. The elastic and plastic transfer matrix coefficients for pile segment at any depth were analytically obtained through Laplace...

... tested for the case of a truncated vertical cylinder and the predicted matrix coefficients have been shown to be in good agreement with the analytical solution. Besides, post-processed quantities, such as the heave component of the excitation force, have been also considered for the comparison. The best...
