The most widely used model to perform the analysis of piles under lateral loads consists in modeling the pile as a series of beam elements and representing the soil as a group of unconnected, concentrated springs perpendicular ...

The laterally loaded pile problem involves a fourth order differential equation, where a complex relationship between the lateral deflections of the pile and the reactions generated by the surrounding soil take place. A ...

Post-grouted drilled shafts (PGDS) have been reported to have increased axial capacity and to experiment smaller settlements, for a certain load level, compared to conventional piles installed under similar conditions. ...
