Abstract: In this study, the seismic stability of a slope containing a laterally loaded pile under seismic conditions is evaluated by the finite-element limit analysis (FELA) approach. The seismic action is idealized as a horizontal ...

Abstract: The mobilization of side resistance of rock-socketed pile strongly depends on the shear behavior of the pile-rock interface. In this study, an asperity-based model was developed to investigate essential responses of interface ...

Abstract: In this paper, the performance of a laterally loaded single pile located in a mountainside was predicted by a modified strain wedge (SW) technique and, in particular, the emphasis is on quantifying pile–soil interactions ...
