A case study for laterally loaded piles in c-phi soils using the PileLAT program
This blog documents a case study for laterally loaded piles in soils with both cohesion and friction (c-phi soils) using the PileLAT program
Matlock soft clay p-y curve model for laterally loaded piles
Matlock (1970) proposed p-y curve model for soft clay under both static and cyclic loading conditions. The following figures show the...

We are pleased to announce that PileGroup Version 2.3 is released in September 2021 with the following improvements and updates compared to
P-y curves of weak carbonate rock - Abbs (1984)
P-y curve model for weak carbonate rock proposed by Abbs (1983)
P-y curve model of liquefied sand - Rollins et al. (2005)
PileLAT program adopts the p-y curve model of liquefied sand recommended in Rollins (2005) based on the full-scale lateral load tests.
Advantages of "consistent" approach over lumped methods for laterally loaded piles
It is common to analyze laterally loaded piles by treating the problem as a beam on an elastic foundation. In general, the finite element me
Roosevelt Bridge Pile Group Lateral Load Test - Case Study with Using PileGroup Program
The lateral load behaviour of a 16-piles group was studied by Ruesta and Townsend (1997) in Stuart, Florida. The pile group was composed of
API p-y curve models for laterally loaded piles
A wide range of p-y curves are available in PileLAT and PileGroup programs for modelling behaviour of soils and rocks under lateral loading.
