ThesisItem Open Access Pile foundation response to dynamic lateral loading(G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2021-03) Amritesh Kumar; Sharma, S.K.In so many cases, the Pile Foundations have largely been integrated and it’s nearly impossible to imagine the integrity of the systems without supplying them. During an earthquake, i.e. in the case of lateral loading on the pile, the pile is considered to be a lateral loaded beam and its bending is governed by the strength of the pile material. Piles have been used in high-rise buildings, transmission towers, nuclear plants, offshore facilities to name a few. In all these situations, they are exposed to both axial and lateral loads. During the earthquake, the pile base structure is often subjected to dynamic loading. It is therefore imperative to research the dynamic response of the pile subjected to lateral loading. The PLAXIS 2D finite element software package was used to observe the pile’s reaction (single as well as group). In addition, piles in the homogeneous medium have been extensively researched, but there is no systematic analysis of the behaviour of piles in the layered deposits that are typically found at the site. The goal of this study is to fill that void. Damping characteristics and local soil properties based on lab results have been incorporated. In particular, the deformation characteristics of the piles under lateral dynamic as well as the axial loading have been considered.
