EVALUATION OF LATERAL RESISTANCE OF STEEL PILE WITH WINGS IN CYCLIC LOADING TESTS

Abstract

The objective of this study is the evaluation of the lateral ground resistance around a steel pile with wings subjected cyclic loading at a pile cap. This paper presents the ground deformation and subgrade reaction - pile displacement relationships observed in situ tests under cyclic loading. The hysteresis curves have slip characteristics in case of steel pile with wings. The lateral ground resistance of a steel pile with wings can be evaluate in a limited depth by simplify method using solutions of elastic pile equation.
