Abstract:Piles are widely used to transfer the horizontal load of high-rise buildings, transmission towers, and bridges, especially for superstructures constructed near slopes. This study investigated bearing capacities of single piles under the combined horizontal force (H) and bending moment (M) for the pile in sloping ground. A 3D finite element model was proposed to simulate the non-linear pile–soil interaction and was verified by a model test. A series of numerical tests were conducted to obtain the failure envelo… Show more
