Abstract
Response of a single pile to moment or lateral thrust is analyzed considering the surrounding soil to be an elastic-plastic continuum. The soil mass is considered to be elastic with progressive zones of yielding developing, depending on an arbitrary yield criterion. Curves for a typical example are presented showing pile loading and deflection versus depth, as well as load versus lateral deflection at the ground surface. A nonlinear load-deflection response is predicted that is similar in nature to observed field behavior.Keywords
