A Numerical Model to Study the Response of Piles under Lateral Loading in Unsaturated Soils
The interaction between a laterally loaded pile and the surrounding soil is typically limited to the shallower soil layer. Often, this zone is above the water table and therefore the interaction takes place under unsaturated conditions. The available evidence is scarce but suggests that unsaturated...
