Abstract
Parametric studies on nonhomogeneous pile and homogeneous pile were performed to investigate the effects of considered factors on the lateral pile behaviors. According to the results of parametric studies on the homogeneous piles, values of the parameters of the pile with larger flexural rigidity along the depths of embedment were greater than those of the pile with smaller one. Parameters for the case of the nonhomogeneous pile were converged to the same ones of the homogeneous pile as nodal point moves away from point of material boundary. Results of the parametric studies would be helpful for determining the adequate upper pile length of the nonhomogeneous pile which could be resulted in similar load bearing behavior with the homogeneous pile.
