Effects of soil slope on lateral capacity of piles in cohesive soils

Creator:

Nimityongskul, Nontapat

Abstract:

Pile supported bridges are typically constructed near or in a natural or man-made slope and are subjected to lateral loading. The current design method for laterally loaded piles involves the use of Winkler's spring concept with the standard nonlinear p-y curves. The available p-y curves were developed based on results...
