For laterally loaded piled raft, is there any relationship between soil reaction and the magnitude of axial force. Or, does axial force affect soil pressure measured along the pile length?
Dear Ammar, thank you for your replay. This article talking about lateral displacement while I need to know the relationship between axial force and lateral earth pressure (or soil resistance).
Please read some of my publishes articles on the behavior of laterally loaded bored piles.The lateral soil resistance depends on the soil shear strength parameters ,stress strain curve, and the method used to simulate the soil pile response such as the p-y curves.The axial loads applied has simply no effect on the lateral resistance.
Dear Dr Nabil, thank you for this answer. practically that is true. But some analytical methods are depending on the second derivative of moment curves to get the soil reaction distribution. And since the moment depends on the axial force as well as the lateral force, soil reaction changes as axial loads change. Anyway, practically you are right.
