The Solution and Parameter Analysis of the Single Pile Response Subject to Lateral Load Based on Three-Parameter Subgrade Resisting Force Model

Abstract:

To further investigate the mechanism of the interaction between the response of single pile and pile-soil on the condition of lateral load, on the basis of the normal type of the coefficient of subgrade reaction, this paper reaches the transfer matrix solution of single pile subject to lateral load by combining matrix transfer method with finite element method assuming that the coefficient of subgrade reaction is constant in each finite element. With the matrix solutions obtained, a computer program is developed using MATLAB to compute the pile responses and parametric studies are carried out on the effect of the constraint conditions of pile head and tip, effect of soil properties etc. and the results are discussed in detail.
