Abstract
This study investigates the lateral behavior of pile foundations socketed into bedrocks using 3D finite difference analysis. The lateral load‐displacement curve, pile deflection, and bending moment distribution were obtained for different bedrock depths between 3 and 20 m. It was discovered that bedrocks that have a depth of 7 m (7D) or less influence the lateral behavior of the pile. The p‐y curves were collected at depths of 2.0–4.5 m, and the effect of the bedrock on the curves was evaluated. It was observed that the p‐y curves were significantly affected by the material properties of the bedrock if the rock is located in close proximity (within 3D), but the effect is diminished if the p‐y curves were 3.5 m (3.5D) or farther from the bedrock.
