Abstract
This paper describes a series of model tests on instrumented pile groups embedded in calcareous sand undergoing lateral movement. The extent of the group effect on the lateral response of a pile in a group was found to be dependent on a number of factors, including the position of the pile in the group, the pile spacing, the number of piles, and the head fixity condition. The agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions by an existing boundary element program is shown to be reasonably good, provided that appropriate parameters are adopted.
