Elastic‐Creep Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 4
Abstract
A simple one‐dimensional finite element procedure is used to analyze lateral piles in clayey soils. The analysis included a creep law for the soil based on a probabilistic model and allows for stress‐dependent creep. A field problem is analyzed taking into account the variation in the soil properties with depth. The numerical predictions are compared with field pile load test data and the creep deflections are found to increase nonlinearly with the applied loads. The depth variation of the soil properties is found to be important in the prediction of deflections of a pile‐soil system.
