摘要:Lateral load on a pile can give a catastrophic impact on the foundation itself and the structure above. To assess the pile behaviour, several analytical, empirical and semi-empirical solutions have been adopted in previous engineering practice. In this study, finite element analyses have been conducted for both a slender pile and a monopile. Then the results are compared with a semi-empirical solution. The limitation of the semi-empirical solution is addressed based on the analyses conducted. It is necessary to modify the semi-empirical solution when predicting the behaviour of a monopile under lateral load.
