1 2Cyclic Lateral Loading of a Model Pile Group in Clay Soil, Phase 2A (Feb 1999, MPC-99-99A)
Lateral loading on pile groups often controls the design of these foundation systems, but their behavior when subjected to lateral loading is extremely difficult to predict. To compensate for this, factors of safety are increased, thus increasing the overall cost of a project. The purpose of this research...
Lateral Load Testing of Model Piles, Phase 1 (Mar 1996, MPC-96-60)
The objectives of this projects were to: 1) develop a load test facility which can be used to perform static lateral load tests on model piles, 2) establish a prototype pile and a corresponding model pile, 3) design and implement the instrumentation for the model pile, 4) calibrate the model piles, 5)...
