Abstract
A model pile instrumented with miniature load cells has been jacked into a bed of dense sand and loaded horizontally in two directions. From the load cell readings taken and a consideration of force equilibrium, the approximate distribution of stress around the circumference of the pile on horizontal loading has been obtained. The stresses induced on horizontal loading were found to be confined essentially to the leading face of the pile and comprised components in the horizontal plane and a longitudinal shear component resulting from flexing of the pile. The resultant stress in the horizontal plane was non-uniform and directed approximately radially towards the pile around much of its circumference.
