Abstract
The analysis and computation of the ultimate lateral capacity of rigid piles is usually based on a simplified soil pressure distribution along the pile length. Actual soil pressure distributions were measured in a rigid model pile along its length and across the diameter and it was found that the simplified theoretical assumptions of pressure distribution needs a modification. A method is suggested in this paper to predict soil pressure distribution and ultimate lateral capacity for rigid piles in cohesionless soils. Field and laboratory data from published literature are used to validate the proposed method.
