Abstract
The analysis and computation of the bearing capacity of rigid piles under inclined loads is usually based on a simplified pressure distribution along the pile length. Test data of actual pressures on such piles are scarce. Experiments were conducted with an instrumented 75 mm rigid circular pile embedded in homogeneous sand. The ultimate capacity of the pile was experimentally determined for different loading conditions and compared with analyses and test data reported previously. The interaction relationship of the load inclination on the ultimate capacity was obtained in the form of a polar diagram. Keywords: piles, lateral loads, cohesionless soils.
