ABSTRACT |
In this study two methods, by Hetenyi and Matlock, are studied and compared for the analysis of the behavior of laterally loaded pile in saturated clay. For the analysis, it is necessary to investigate the effect of nonlinear behavior of soil and the contact between the sidewall of the pile and soil on pile foundations while they are under lateral loading and bending moment. Moreover, the role of the cohesion between pile and soil and also the effect of nonlinear behavior of soil on pile foundations has to be investigated. These effects can be analyzed by 3D FEM models that support nonlinear behavior of the material and the cohesion between the soil and pile in their simulations.
Keywords: Laterally loade pile, FEM, Matlock, Hetenyi.
