Finite Element Analysis of the Pile-Cap of Laterally Loaded Variable Rigidity Pile (Pile Partner)

摘要

Concerning the stress and displacement of the cap under lateral load with or without pile partner, reference on PCC lateral load test and numerical simulation, build finite element model of a pile under lateral load to study the stress and displacement of the cap, calculations show that the diffusion effect help partner to reduce stress concentration of the pile cap, and foundation slab can be designed thinner if there are pile partners.
