abstract: The behavior of continuous flight auger (CFA) piles and steel H-section piles to lateral loading is investigated using numerical analyses supported by field tests. A three-dimensional finite element numerical model to lateral load is presented. The numerical model was validated with the results of twelve lateral load tests performed on CFA and steel H-section piles installed in two deposits of sandy soils. The three-dimensional approach proposed in this study is in good agreement with the response observed with the field tests, and thus represents a reliable soil-pile interaction for laterally loaded piles in sandy soil. Parametric analyses were used to assess the influence of relevant variables to lateral soil-pile interaction. Major findings of this paper indicate that the ultimate lateral load of short rigid piles is considerably more influenced by changes in soil-pile relative stiffness than that of long flexible units. Pile diameter and soil-pile interface friction are found to exert a marked effect on the lateral load of CFA piles, while soil dilatancy is found to play a minor influence on the response of CFA piles.

The interaction between pile and soil can not be ignored in the seismic analysis of long-span bridges. Earthquake action in the form of lateral load apply on the pile through the soil, the analysis of pile under lateral load is very important in aseismatic analysis of bridge. Analysis of the horizontal load pile-soil interaction by using finite element analysis software ADINA, establishing the three-dimensional contact model of pile-soil interaction and the analysis model by using p-y curve model of soil-pile interaction respectively. Comparing the displacement of the top of pile with the actual measurements to verify the numerical method is right. It shows that the feasibility of using ADINA for pile-soil interaction analysis.

Piles are generally required to transfer load from a superstructure through weak or compressible strata, or through water, on to stiffer and less compressible soils and rock. The pile behavior is very important in Soil-Pile interaction (as known Kinematic Interaction) so that grouped and single pile behavior differs owing to the impacts of the pile-to-pile interaction. In this research presents a series of experimental investigations carried out on single and group pile subjected to monotonic lateral loadings. The aluminum model piles were tested in the different relative densities in Johor Bahru sand. The sand samples were prepared by using the newly designed Mobile Pluviator adopted the air pluviation method. The different configurations of model pile groups for embedded length-to-diameter ratio equal to 32 into loose and dense sand spacing from 3 to 6 pile diameter (D) were conducted. The ultimate lateral load is increased 53% in increasing of s/d from 3 to 6 owing to effects of sand relative density. A ratio of s/D more than 6d is large enough to eliminate the pile-to-pile interaction and the group effects. It may be more in the loose sand.

To address a recent challenge related to broken spikes in premium elastic fastening systems that have led to at least ten derailments and require manual walking inspections as well as build upon mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design principles for future fastening system component design, this paper quantifies the vertical, lateral, and longitudinal fastening system loads under revenue service traffic in a curve that has regularly experienced spike fastener fatigue failures. Previous data has indicated that the high rail of Track 3 experienced the most failures at this location. The data from this investigation sheds light into why failures are more predominant at this location than others and how the vertical, lateral, and longitudinal loads cannot be considered independently. Specifically, while the magnitude of the applied loading was the lowest on the high rail of Track 3, the threshold for failure was also the lowest given the operations at this location led to unloading of the high rail, thus indirectly highlighting the importance of friction within a fastening system. The data also show the high rail of Track 3 was subjected to the highest L/V load ratios and was an outlier in the typical lateral load reversals applied likely leading to spike stress reversals and thus a shorter fatigue life. Finally, based upon the data, it is recommended that to mitigate spike failures, as well as similar fastener challenges in other track types (e.g. rail seat deterioration, etc.) railroads should ensure trains operate close to the balance speed and use fastening system that transfer loads through friction. This study also provides novel data for M-E design of fastening systems.

The problem of large deflection of a rectangular plate resting on a Pasternak-type foundation and subjected to a uniform lateral load has been investigated by utilizing the linearized equation of plates due to H. M. Berger. The solutions derived and based on the effect of the two base parameters have been carried to practical conclusions by presenting graphs for bending moments and shear forces for a square plate with all edges simply supported.
