Study on Analysis and Application of Horizontal Static Load Test Results for Elastic Long Pile

Abstract

Based on Winkler model and engineering example, the behavior of elastic long pile under horizontal load was analyzed in test status while pile top at free. The analysis results show that under same horizontal static load, the maximum of pile shaft bending moment in work status is higher than it in test status. Directly using the horizontal bearing capacity obtained by horizontal static load test in project design is unsafe and inapposite. The horizontal bearing capacity of pile in work status can be get based on the proportion coefficient of the horizontal resistance coefficient.
