Abstract
Lateral resistance, failure mechanism, plastic processes, and horizontal subgrade reaction etc. were investigated through a laboratory experiment on a laterally loaded single pile in clayey slope. On the basis of the observed results, a 3D plastic analysis model was proposed to calculate the horizontal subgrade reaction force in a sloped ground. Using this model, the relation between lateral displacement of pile and horizontal force was examined, and it was shown that the calculated relation was in well agreement with the experimental result.
