Abstract

Parametric studies on nonhomogeneous pile and homogeneous pile installed in clay were performed through the developed technique to investigate the effects of considered factors on the lateral pile behaviors. Values of the parameters with embedment depths of the two piles having different flexural rigidity show that values of the parameters for more rigid pile were greater than those for 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. In order to determine adequate upper length of the nonhomogeneous pile, changing patterns of the parameters, lateral displacement, member forces and so forth should be compared.
