Interaction Factors

Marine and harbor structures, wind turbines, bridges, offshore platforms, industrial chimneys, retaining structures etc. can be subjected to significant lateral loads from various sources. Appropriate assessment of the foundations capacity of these structures is thus necessary, especially when these structures are supported by pile groups. The pile group interaction effects under lateral loading have been investigated intensively in past decades, and the most of the conducted studies have considered lateral loading that acts along one of the two orthogonal directions, parallel to the edge of pile group. However, because of the stochastic nature of its source, the horizontal loading on the pile group may have arbitrary direction. The number of studies dealing with the pile groups under arbitrary loading is very limited. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the arbitrary lateral loading on the pile group response, in order to improve (extend) the current design approach for laterally loaded pile groups. Free head, flexible bored piles in sand were analyzed through the extensive numerical study. The main hypothesis of the research is that some critical pile group configurations, loading directions, and soil conditions exist, which can lead to the unsafe structural design. Critical pile positions inside the commonly used pile group configurations are identified with respect to loading directions. The influence of different soil conditions was discussed.

Single Piles

Flexibility coefficients of single piles and interaction factors established for groups of two piles are presented to facilitate analysis of arbitrary pile groups exposed to static horizontal loads. Such an analysis may yield pile group flexibility, stiffness, deflection, and distribution of loads on individual piles. The data given are complete in that they include horizontal translation, rotation in the vertical plane, and cross effects between the two, making it possible to establish complete stiffness and flexibility matrices of pile groups provided with either rigid caps or arbitrarily flexible caps. Homogeneous, parabolic, and linear (Gibson's) soil profiles are considered and the piles may have a free length sticking above the ground surface. The methods of group evaluation based on superposition of interaction factors are reviewed and compared and numerical examples are given. Key words: piles, pile groups, lateral loads, flexibility, stiffness, load distribution.

Large Model

Previous analyses of the ultimate resistance and displacements of rigid piles under lateral loads and moments have been extended to the general case of eccentric and inclined loads on flexible piles by using the concept of effective embedment depths of equivalent rigid piles. Recent research on the behaviour of large model tests on instrumented rigid and flexible piles under eccentric and inclined loads in sand, clay, and layered soil is summarized. Reasonable agreement is found between observed and predicted behaviour. The proposed method of analysis is also supported by comparison with the results of many field case records of single piles and large pile groups under lateral loads indifferent types of soils. Key words : bearing capacity, displacement, eccentric loads, inclined loads, layered soil, pile.
