ABSTRACT: Laterally loaded flexible and rigid piles embedded in elastic soil with constant and linearly varying modulus are analyzed using the finite element method. The pile responses were found to be functions of the relative stiffness of pile and soil, and of the pile slenderness ratio. Based on the analysis, plots describing pile head deflection, rotation, and maximum bending moment as functions of pile-soil stiffness ratio and pile slenderness ratio are produced and equations describing these quantities are proposed. These equations and plots can be used in design.
RÉSUMÉ: Pieux flexibles et rigides chargés latéralement incorporés dans le sol élastique avec un module constant et variant linéairement sont analysés en utilisant la méthode des éléments finis. Les réponses de pieux ont été trouvés à être des fonctions de la rigidité relative de la pile et le sol, et du rapport tas d'élancement. Basé sur l'analyse, les parcelles décrivant tête du pieu déviation, rotation, et le moment de flexion maximale en fonction du pile-sol ratio de rigidité et pile élancement sont produites et équations décrivant ces quantités sont proposées. Ces équations et les parcelles peuvent être utilisés dans la conception.
