Pile group interaction during lateral loading reduces lateral resistance. Based on full-scale lateral pile group testing, the reduction is a function of pile spacing, row position and soil type.
This Montana Department of Transportation–sponsored Ph.D. research investigates the lateral load response of piles in low- to high-plasticity silt–clay mixtures representative of Montana soils using ...
