ABSTRACT
Centrifuge tests (Stewart et al. 1994; Bransby and Springman 1997; Leung et al. 2000) and laboratory model tests (Poulos et al. 1995; Pan et al. 2002; Guo and Ghee 2004) were conducted to model responses of piles subjected to soil movement. The results are useful. The correlation between maximum bending moment (Mmax) and lateral thrust (i.e., shear force, Tmax) in a pile is needed in design (Poulos 1995), but it was not provided in majority of the model tests.
