Abstract

The end bearing capacity of a pile is modeled for two-dimensional effective stress analysis by initially conducting a vertical loading test in a centrifugal field and then simulating the vertical loading test by three-dimensional analysis to validate the three-dimensional analysis. Finally, a model, which uses nonlinear spring elements for two-dimensional analysis, is proposed and validated via case studies. In the proposed model, the nonlinear spring elements are characterized by the hyperbolic relationship determined in the three-dimensional analysis.
