Abstract
Behavior of pile under lateral loading is a composite problem for soil-structure interaction. Field study data on such cases are not available in a large number, inspite of its essentiality due to site specific behavior. This paper deals with the field experimental study on behavior of laterally loaded pile in clayey soil. The site selected for the study is located near the Nagapatinam coastal line of Tamilnadu state of India. A series of laboratory tests and Standard Penetration Tests were conducted to characterize the soil. The lateral load tests were conducted on a individual bored pile which passes through soft to hard consistent clay upto a depth of 16 meters from the ground level. The pile was casted with the inclinometer casing to obtain the lateral displacement profile of pile. The displacement of pile was measured at the initial and final stage of lateral loading. Numerical studies were performed using the measured soil parameters. The static load-diaplacement response arrived as a result of field test were compared with the results of the numerical study.
