LATERALLY LOADED PIPE PILE IN COHESIONLESS SOIL

A method is described to predict the behavior of a steel-pipe pile in medium sand. This boundary value problem is solved by means of the finite element method treating soil as an elastoplastic material with a non-associated flow rule. This method involves the expansion of the nodal forces and nodal displacements in Fourier series. The theoretical results obtained are compared with the pile displacements obtained from a field test.
