A Simplified Nonlinear Method for a Laterally Loaded Pile in Sloping Ground

A simplified nonlinear method was proposed to evaluate lateral behavior of a pile located in or nearby a slope, based on the traditional p-y method. This method was validated with field test results of a steel pipe pile in clay and model tests of piles in sand slopes. The comparison indicated that t...
