Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Pile- Soil Interaction Subjected to Lateral Loads in Layered SoilsA. Avaei, Abdoul R. Ghotbi, M. AryafarTo stabilize infrastructures such as tall buildings, bridges, etc., piles are used to resist lateral loads created from earth pressure, wind, waves and earthquake extensively. Pile design requires understanding of how the load is transferred from a pile to surrounding soil and vice versa. Pile properties, soil stress-strain behavior and pile-soil interaction play important roles in pile-response subjected to lateral … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,339 accessesView PDFCite
