Abstract
In current practice it is either the p – y curve concept, or analytical solutions
assuming different formulations for ultimate soil resistance that are being used to
evaluate the lateral pile response. The adequacy of the p – y curves or of the
assumed pressure distribution and ultimate soil resistance have been questioned. In
this study the lateral capacity of three-dimensional numerical models of rigid piles
embedded in cohesionless soil was estimated. The potential variability of the friction
properties along the perimeter of the pile was considered. The interface properties
affect the ultimate soil resistance and the stiffness of the soil–pile response.
