...Leonardo Maria Lalicata; Gorizia D’Alessio; Domenico Gallipoli; Matthieu Blanc This study investigates the response of short piles to lateral loads in partially saturated soils, as often occurs in solar panel foundations which are exposed to wind action. In such cases, owing to their limited length...

... was attempted to examine the lateral response of short-finned piles installed in the proximity of a typical slope of 1V:2H. The 1g model testing of regular and finned piles at different load eccentricities comprised three lateral load tests on horizontal ground and 24 lateral load tests on the slope...

...Tetsuo Tobita; Susumu Iai; K.M. Rollins Response of a group pile under static and dynamic lateral load is studied using a geotechnical centrifuge with an arm length of 2.5 m. The group pile consists of 9 piles in a 3 × 3 pattern with a spacing of three times a pile diameter center to center...

...L. Verdure; J. Garnier; D. Levacher A number of tests have been carried out in the last few years at the LCPC centrifuge facility to study the behaviour of laterally loaded piles. This paper presents a centrifuge test programme of lateral cyclic loading of a single pile in sand. In these tests...
