Interaction Factors

Marine and harbor structures, wind turbines, bridges, offshore platforms, industrial chimneys, retaining structures etc. can be subjected to significant lateral loads from various sources. Appropriate assessment of the foundations capacity of these structures is thus necessary, especially when these structures are supported by pile groups. The pile group interaction effects under lateral loading have been investigated intensively in past decades, and the most of the conducted studies have considered lateral loading that acts along one of the two orthogonal directions, parallel to the edge of pile group. However, because of the stochastic nature of its source, the horizontal loading on the pile group may have arbitrary direction. The number of studies dealing with the pile groups under arbitrary loading is very limited. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the arbitrary lateral loading on the pile group response, in order to improve (extend) the current design approach for laterally loaded pile groups. Free head, flexible bored piles in sand were analyzed through the extensive numerical study. The main hypothesis of the research is that some critical pile group configurations, loading directions, and soil conditions exist, which can lead to the unsafe structural design. Critical pile positions inside the commonly used pile group configurations are identified with respect to loading directions. The influence of different soil conditions was discussed.

Pile Group Effect

In this paper, the capability of 3D nonlinear finite element models is validated by single pile and 5x3 pile group filed experiments that is subjected to cyclic lateral loading. Then, a series 3D finite elements models are built to analyze the effect of the number of cycles of lateral loading, pile spacing, and pile group arrangement. The results have shown that the number of cycles affected the pile-soil system stiffness seriously, and the pile group effect became insignificant as the increase of pile spacing, while this effect became more significant with the increase of the pile group arrangement. In practical engineering, the pile spacing and pile group arrangement should be considered and chosen carefully.
