| Abstract | ||
| Although piles are elements designed primarily to support vertical loads, They are subjected to horizontal loads by serval sources such as earthquake, wind, impact loads and lateral earth pressure. Large number of studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of different parameters on the behavior of piles. These parameters are summarized as i) effect of pile diameter, ii) angle of the pile with the vertical, iii) piles slenderness ratio and soil type. In the present study an experimental program was carried out to identify the deflection of vertical and inclined piles subjected to a lateral force in cohesive soil. The experimental program comprised pile lateral load tests performed on model of single pile driven in cohesive soil. Using the experimental model results, relations were utilized to estimate the lateral deflection of piles. | ||
