In this paper, a method is presented to predict the behavior of piles subjected to monotonic lateral loads on the basis of the results of pressuremeter tests performed in prebored holes.Abstract:
A method is presented to predict the behavior of piles subjected to monotonic lateral loads on the basis of the results of pressuremeter tests performed in prebored holes. The method is used to predict the pile head response of 17 laterally loaded piles including driven and bored piles ranging from 0.32 m to 1.37 m in diameter and from 3 m to 21 m in length. The predictions are compared with the load test results. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (Author/TRRL)read more

Modeling Pile Behavior in Large Pile Groups Under Lateral Loading
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D finite-difference based numerical modeling approach was used to evaluate the lateral stiffness of a large pile group subject to only translational loading at the groundline, assuming that a rigid pile cap was present to enforce equal horizontal displacements of all pile heads.

Modeling Laterally Loaded Single Piles Accounting for Nonlinear Soil-Pile Interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the nonlinear behavior of a laterally loaded monopile foundation is studied using the finite element method (FEM) to account for soil-pile interactions, and the results indicate that for the specific case considered here the p-y method provides a reasonable accuracy, in spite of its simplicity, in predicting the lateral deflection of single piles.

Single piles under horizontal loads in sand: determination of P – Y curves from the prebored pressuremeter test
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results of the interpretation of five full-scale horizontal loading tests of single instrumented piles in two sandy soils, in order to define the parameters of load-transfer P-Y curves, namely the initial lateral reaction modulus and the lateral soil resistance, in correlation with the pressuremeter test parameters.
