| Sumario: |
The analysis of piles subjected to lateral loads is a very important aspect in the design of both conventional structures and maritime infrastructure. This article presents results of an experimental investigation carried out under the hypothesis that it is possible to replicate the behavior of piles with scale tests so that these data can be useful in future investigations and designs. As part of the research, an apparatus was developed that allows the application of lateral loading on small-scale pile models. For the experiments presented here, sandy soil and wooden piles were used. The data were validated by using analytical methods that allow estimating the ultimate capacity of piles under lateral loads. The results show a good correlation between the experimental results and the analytical predictions. |
