ANALYSIS OF PILE SUBJECTED TO CYCLIC LATERAL LOADING

An analysis is proposed for studying the response of a pile embedded in homogeneous clay, subjected to cyclic lateral loading, using semi-analytical finite element approach. The pile and soil media are discretized into eight modes of isoparametric continuum elements, while interface between soil and pile is modelled using six nodes of curved interface element. Both soil and interface were modelled using bilinear stress-strain relationships. This analysis is an extension of nonlinear static pile response, and allows for reduction of soil modulus and yield pressure with number of cycles. An iterative procedure is employed, in which a constant stiffness based on initial tangent modulus of bilinear stress-strain relationship is used in all the iterations. Effect of one-way and two-way cyclic loading on moments and deflections is studied. (A)
