| description | In this study, a series of numerical calculations were performed to investigate the lateral behavior of piles in slopes and in horizontal ground. First, a numerical model is created and then verified by comparing the numerical results with the results of model tests. The numerical results agree well with the results of model tests. Second, numerical calculations of different slopes were conducted to explore the effect of slope angle on the horizontal displacement of pile and bending moment. Then, the effect of slope angle on the foundation stiffness proportional coefficient m is investigated. The stress distribution of soil around the pile and the deformation of pile at different slope angles are also compared. Finally, the p–y curves of the different slope angles are compared. An improved p–y method is proposed to consider the effect of slope angle based on the numerical results. The results show that the bearing capacity of piles decreases with an increase in slope angle. The horizontal displacement of pile nonlinearly decreases along the pile body with the depth of pile. The bending moment of piles increases along the pile body with an increase in pile depth, and until 0.5 times of the pile length, the bending moment reaches the maximum value. As the slope angle increases, the maximum of bending moment tends to decrease. The distance from the slope toe to the pile section has a little influence on the pile bending moment and horizontal displacement. With an increase in slope angle, the horizontal foundation coefficient m gradually decreases. |
