ABSTRACT

BEHAVIOR OF LATERALLY LOADED BATTER PILES IN SAND General Considerations The earlier sections dealt with the behavior of long vertical piles. The author has so far not come across any rational approach for predicting the behavior of batter piles subjected to lateral loads. He has been working on this problem for a long time (Murthy, 1965). Based on the work done by the author and others, a method for predicting the behavior of long batter piles subjected to lateral load has now been developed.
