Abstract
The pile foundation resists not only the loads from the superstructure, but also the large lateral forces from other sources such as earthquakes, wind, wave, etc. The pile cap is a crucial structural element in a pile foundation that is often massive and deeply buried, and design to provide significant resistance under the lateral loads. In this paper, a comprehensive experimental study of pile cap resistance under lateral load is presented. The parametric study of pile–soil–cap interaction under lateral load is performed on different pile groups. This study shows that the pile cap contributes approximately good amount of lateral resistance.
