Full Scale Cyclic Lateral Load Tests on Six Single Piles in Sand

Abstract

This study was performed to determine responses of single piles in sands subjected to cyclic lateral loading and compare the results with predicted responses based on insitu pressuremeter tests. The pressuremeter method used for predicting pile response to monotonic lateral loading is applicable to piles which will experience little or no degradation in flexural stiffness such as steel piles and prestressed concrete piles loaded less than the prestress. Keywords: Cohesionless soils, Cyclic lateral loading, Pressuremeter, Single piles.
