摘要

The behavior of pile foundations under combined vertical and lateral loads and moments was investigated. Lateral loads originated from traffic, seismic events, wind, vessel wakes, and earth pressure. Moments resulted from the eccentricity of vertical loads, column-pile fixity, and the resultant lateral load. To prevent buckling instability in specific scenarios, a minimum pile diameter was required based on the unsupported length above the point of fixity. A review of existing methods for analyzing laterally loaded single piles to determine the depth of fixity revealed conflicting positions among them. To address this discrepancy, depth of fixity values derived from finite element analysis were used as a benchmark for verification against these established methods. The analysis demonstrated that the computed depth of fixity varied significantly depending on the method applied. Although a finite element approach was proposed to determine an appropriate depth of fixity, the depths calculated using coefficient-based methods showed relatively good agreement with the finite element results.
