A hypoplastic macroelement for single vertical piles in sand subject to three-dimensional loading conditions

Centrifuge modelling of long piles subjected to lateral loading with high load eccentricity in sand

In this research paper, five centrifuge lateral loading tests of long piles with a considerable load eccentricity were carried out in the sand to investigate the impacts of the load eccentricity and pile length changes on the lateral behavior of a flexible pile beside the determination of experimental p-y curves. Comparing experimental test results with the recommended API (American Petroleum ...

Dynamic Analysis of Single Piles Under Vertical Loads

Dynamic Analysis of Single Piles Under Vertical Loads

evaluation of horizontal displacement of long piles subject to lateral loading in sandy soil

in many structures, the applied lateral loads are comparable with gravity loads. these types of piles which are subject to high lateral load are usually divided into two categories including long and short piles. the general methods to estimate lateral bearing capacity of short and long piles are based on ultimate bearing capacity and allowable horizontal displacement respectively. in the prese...

Pullout Capacity of Model Piles in Sand

A large scale experimental program using vertical and batter model piles in sand subjected to pull out loads has been carried out in a model tank of size 1m x 1m x 1m. Mild steel pipes of varying diameters, lengths, and shapes are used as model piles. A poorly graded river sand having specific gravity G= 2.67, Uniformity coefficient= 3.53, emax = 0.81, emin = 0.54 has been used as foundation me...
