Summary : The complexities of designing piles for lateral loads are manifold as there are many forces that are critical to the design of big structures such as bridges, offshore and waterfront structures and retaining walls. The loads on structures should be supported either horizontally or laterally or in both directions and most structures have in common t

Summary : Guiding the professional through the complexities of lateral-load design, this book and CD-ROM combination introduces the procedures involved in piles and pile group design. This is a problem that can only be solved by accounting for the soil resistance as related to the lateral deflection of the pile. Intricate equations are derived and fully explained, enabling the designer to find the critical loads, either causing a pile to be overloaded or causing too much lateral deflection. The CD-ROM contains simplified versions of two required programs that allow the reader to check the solutions of some of the examples given in the book and to find answers to related problems.

Summary : A research program to study the behavior of piles and pile groups subjected to cyclic lateral loading was conducted at a Houston, Texas site. A single pile and a nine-pile group situated in the natural clay were tested and then the upper several feet of clay were removed and replaced with sand and the tests were repeated. Following these tests, another study was undertaken to measure experimentally pile-head flexibility reduction (interaction) factors for the pile group in sand. Tests were made cyclically at varying magnitudes of applied groundline shear on single piles and two-pile and three-pile subgroups, and the response of unloaded piles in the group was measured. Concurrent with these studies, pressuremeter (PMT) and cone penetrometer (CPT) tests were performed in both the clay and the sand from which capacity predictions were made. Each of these studies generated a report with voluminous data. This report summarizes the major findings into one volume. Keywords: Cyclic lateral loading, Interaction factors, Piles, Pile groups, Scour, Pile structures. (SDW).

Summary : This Handbook is specifically designed as a guide to highway engineers. It was used as a textbook for the FHWA training courses on the above title. Several methods of analysis and design of piles under lateral loading are in use. Two methods are presented: the method of Broms, and the method where nonlinear soil-response curves, p-y curves, are employed. The latter method is given prominence because of its versatility. A computer program is presented for solving the equations giving pile deflection, rotation, bending moment, and shear. An iterative procedure is employed internally in the computer program because of the nonlinear response of the soil. Nondimensional curves are presented that can be used for "hand" solution of the differential equation.
