Experimental Investigation of Lateral Load Bearing Capacity of Short Battered Piles
Abstract
In this study, a short single pile in homogeneous loose sand environment placed vertically and also obliquely that is under the influence of lateral loading, was investigated by small-scale laboratory model tests. The lateral bearing capacity of the short pile was obtained from the experimental study. In addition; the depth of the pivot point, that is expected to occur in the rigid pile was discussed as one of the main parameters affecting the lateral load capacity of the short pile. As a result, the ground soil conditions surrounding the pile, considerably affects the lateral load-bearing capacity of the pile. However, the depth of the rotation point and the lateral load capacity of the short pile placed obliquely in the sand, reveal significant differences as compared to vertical piles.
