SOIL – HYBRID PILE INTERACTION UNDER LATERAL LOAD

The paper presents stability problems of horizontally loaded piles in the three dimensional
state of strain. The results obtained are based on works including assessment
of interaction between the soil and pile and field investigation of pile as
well as on numerical analyses in the spatial system of soil-pile interaction. The author’s
numerical analysis of hybrid pile shows greater lateral rigidity due to the effective
interaction between the pile and soil within a definite range of displacement
caused by lateral load. Based on piles embedded in cohesionless soil the
phenomena occurring in the soil were identified and a quantitative assessment of
the pile displacement caused by Lateral force and bending moment was carried
out.
