Abstract

Hypothetical three-dimensional finite element case studies were carried out to investigate the behaviour of full-scale single rigid and flexible concrete piles embedded in soft clay and subjected to lateral soil movements('passive' piles), and to determine the ultimate soil pressure p_u, acting along the pile shaft. The finite element analysis results indicated that the pile flexibility has minimal effects on the ultimate soil pressures. The calculated ultimate soil pressures were 10.8s_u (s_u is the undrained shear strength) for the rigid pile and 11.5s_u for the flexible pile and compared fairly well with those of Chen. The shape of the pile deflections was predicted. The p-delta (delta is the relative displacement between the pile and the soil) pile-soil interaction relationships were also derived.
