LIMIT ANALYSIS OF PILE GROUPS WITH LATERAL SOIL REACTION

CALCUL A LA RUPTURE DES FOUNDATIONS SUR GROUPES DE PIEUX AVEC REACTION LATERALE DES TERRAINS

A new method is proposed for determining the maximum intensity of stresses that can be applied to a group of piles. The model does not take into account the distribution of stresses in the soil in the elastic phase, but is based on results of the lateral loading tests conducted by Kerisel and Adam (1967). The safety range for a pile as regards the external stresses applied is defined. This range results from the soil/pile limit equilibrium conditions and from the conditions of the pile internal equilibrium. Further conditions are also defined which result from the fact that the piles belong to one group. Finally, the principles on which to base an effective method of determining the limit stress for a group of piles are also determined. See IRRD abstract no. 100334. /TRRL/
