Behaviour of piles subjected to passive subsoil movement due to embankment construction - a simplified 3D analysis

Two trial piles were installed at the berm section of an embankment in the later stage of its construction and one of them was fitted with an oversized casing to isolate its top 3. m from the action of surrounding soil. Lateral bending behaviour these two piles subjected to passive sub soil movement...

Description
Summary:Two trial piles were installed at the berm section of an embankment in the later stage of its construction and one of them was fitted with an oversized casing to isolate its top 3. m from the action of surrounding soil. Lateral bending behaviour these two piles subjected to passive sub soil movements were very different from each other because of the casing and is modelled in this paper using a three dimensional analysis. The effect of relative stiffness of the piles on their lateral bending behaviour is investigated. The effect of interface joint slip on the pile's behaviour is also investigated in a later section of this paper.
