In this paper, the authors presented methods for the calculation of the deflections at working loads, the ultimate lateral resistance, and moment distribution for laterally loaded single piles and pile groups.
Abstract
Methods are presented for the calculation of the deflections at working loads, the ultimate lateral resistance, and moment distribution for laterally loaded single piles and pile groups. Both unrestrained and restrained piles have been considered. The lateral deflections have been calculated using the concept of a coefficient of subgrade reaction. The ultimate lateral resistance has been evaluated. The results from the proposed methods of analysis have been compared with available test data. Satisfactory agreement was found at working loads between measured and calculated deflections and between measured and calculated maximum bending moments.

Pile design and construction practice

TL;DR: Piles and Pile Groups under Compressive Loads: Piles are used to resist Uplift and Lateral Loading as discussed by the authors, and they are used for Marine Structures.
Book

Foundation design and construction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a manual of foundation design and construction methods for the practising engineer, while analytical considerations play a subordinate role and sufficient soil mechanics is included to assist the student in relating and extending his knowledge to embrace the practical considerations involved in foundation selection, design, and construction.

Load and resistance factor design (lrfd) for deep foundations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the findings of a study to develop resistance factors for driven pile and drilled shaft foundations, which are recommended for inclusion in Section 10 of the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design Specifications to reflect current best practice in geotechnical design and construction.

P ‐Ultimate for Undrained Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional collapse mechanism is described for analysis of the ultimate strength of laterally loaded piles under undrained conditions, based on the upper bound method of plasticity theory.

Undrained lateral load capacity of piles in clay using artificial neural network

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the application of the artificial neural network model to predict the lateral load capacity of piles in clay and compare the ANN model with the available empirical models: the best fit line for predicted load capacity and measured load capacity, the mean and standard deviation of the ratio Qp/Qm, and the cumulative probability for load capacity.
