A Time-Dependent Model For Predicting The Response Of A Horizontally Loaded Pile Embedded In A Layered Transversely Isotropic Saturated Soil

摘要

A time-dependent model designed for estimating the response of a horizontally loaded pile in a layered saturated soil is presented in the present paper. The results of the present model are compared with the results of existing solution; a better agreement is seen thereof, thus verifying this model. The present results show that the shear force of the pile decreases with increasing depth. The results also indicate that the displacement of the pile decreases as the depth increases. In addition, the pore pressure along the pile-length vanishes to zero as the time increases. This model shows the influence of the soil on a single horizontally loaded pile. When the depth of the soil increases, the shear force and displacement of the pile all decrease significantly.
