The impact of variations in the slope inclination and the soil-pile adhesion factor on the distribution of lateral load along a pile placed in clayly undrained slope
The impact of variations in the slope inclination and the soil-pile adhesion factor on the distribution of lateral load along a pile placed in clayly undrained slope
The study presented concerns the analysis of piles placed close to a crest and laterally loaded; the crest is characterized by an alpha slope and is clayey in nature. Bi-dimensional finite element analyses are realialized on piles with different parameters, such as length and diameter, installed at different distances from the crest with varying slopes. The results of these analyses are used to model the distribution of lateral load along the length of the pile depending on slope inclination; the distance between the pile and the crest.P-Y curves are then plotted for the cases presented above; cases for which such curves rarely exist in the bibliography. The P-Y curves obtained are used to perform a series of numerical analyses.This study shows that the predient results for piles near slopes with P-Y curves already existing in some research are in agreement.
