Hyperbolic P-Y Criterion for Cohesive Soils

摘要: Drilled shafts have been frequently used as a foundation to support lateral loads. The p-y method of analysis has widely for predicting the behavior laterally loaded drilled shafts. existing criteria cohesive soils are divided into soft or stiff clays, on basis limited number load test results. Currently, there is no criterion developed intermediate geomaterial. In this paper, hyperbolic equation curve presented and geomaterials. Based 3-D FEM simulation results, new empirical calculating initial tangent curve. proposed verified by using results six full-scale tests fully instrumented with diameters ranging from 0.76 m 1.83 in geo-medium clays shown be capable loaddeflection bending moments cases studied paper.
