The effect of surcharge loading adjacent to piles
Presents an approach to designing pile foundations, embedded at depth in a stiff substratum and influenced by adjacent loads applied on the surface of soft superficial soils. The effect of lateral thrust on the piles in an upper soft clay layer due to simulated embankment construction is examined, and soil-pile interaction mechanisms are identified herein for behaviour both at working load and ultimate lateral capacity. A design procedure is recommended, and illustrated by a worked example, for full height bridge abutments and other facilities which feature passive lateral loading of piles by a nearby surcharge.
