Numerical Simulation of non Linear Behavior of Laterally Loaded Pile
Résumé
Due to the recent research advances in understanding mechanisms which govern the deep behavior foundations, now the vertical piles can be used to support correctly lateral loads. The paper concerns the development of a computer program for studying non linear behavior of lateral loaded piles taking into account the shear stress at the sand interface layers. Some examples issued from the use of the numerical code are compared with experimental results from centrifuge modelling loaded piles tests. The influence that a shear stress at the soil on the behavior laterally loaded piles was also studied.
