Study on lateral resistance of soil-cement composite pile

Abstract

In recent years, works to improve existing structures and strengthen their seismic resistance have increased. Pile construction in narrow spaces is constrained by the site and the construction process. Therefore, a construction method of soil-cement composite pile using a mechanical agitator was developed. The purpose of this study is to apply soil-cement composite piles, which have been conventionally designed as temporary structures, to permanent structures. In order to build the design method on the horizontal resistance, a numerical analysis was carried out to simulate a full-scale horizontal loading test, and the modeling was discussed.
