Abstract

Employing a bending analysis for the piles subjected to lateral loading, examine the behavior of concrete pile foundations in liquefiable sand. The shear force, bending moment, and deflection along the length of the pile were calculated using a finite element model and analysis of the pile. The force-based technique is used to compute the lateral loading. The study also focuses on impacting factors like liquefaction depth, end circumstances, and loading type. The aforementioned parametric investigation for the piles in liquefiable soil and non-liquefiable soil yielded a thorough failure pattern. Using the data, design charts for the pile's ideal diameter under situations of liquefiable soil were created


Keywords: Bending analysis, Optimum diameter, Lateral loading, Pile head fixity, liquefaction depth, Force-based approach
