Modeling Laterally Loaded Single Piles Accounting for Nonlinear Soil-Pile Interactions

The nonlinear behavior of a laterally loaded monopile foundation is studied using the finite element method (FEM) to account for soil-pile interactions. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element modeling is a convenient and reliable approach to account for the continuity of the soil mass and the nonline...
