Abstract
This paper presents a design approach to analyze the effects of lateral loads on piles embedded in a layered frozen soil profile. This design approach makes use of a commercially available computer program that uses curves to model lateral pile loading and soil interaction. Shear strength and strain criteria for both fine- and coarse-grained frozen soil are presented for use in constructing curves. These strength criteria are parameterized based on frozen soil temperature and load duration. Inuvik lateral pile load test results and deflections calculated using the strength criteria are compared. Deflections and moments are also calculated using the strength criteria for two Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, lateral pile load cases.
