Nonlinear finite element analysis of piles under lateral load based on P-Y curves
P-y curves method is one kind of nonlinear subgrade-reaction methods; it considers the nonlinear character
layer character
different kinds
and load kinds of ground soil. Starting from the concept of spring joint in Newmark method
the contact nonlinear finite element model is established for the pile-soil system. By the formula of P-Y curves of compound foundation reaction method
the formulas of elastic coefficients of nonlinear springs are deduced. The corresponding programs are organized based on Marc. Based on 1st Taylor stochastic finite element concept
the sensitivities of the displacement on the soil level for soil parameters are computed. By comparing the data of testing pile
the numerical results indicate the rationality and the feasibility of the presented method.
