Abstract

This work treats the behavior of a single pile subjected to two types of loading: axial and lateral, with taking into account the interaction between the soil and the pile. The zone of soil-pile interface is modeled by a simple model of interaction; based on the Coulomb friction contact law. The numerical analysis is carried out in 2D using a finite element program. Comparisons are presented between modeled pile behavior and that predicted from experimental, analytical and analysis results, a reasonable good agreement is obtained between them.
