Abstract

In the analysis of the interaction of granular soils and pile under axial or lateral load, the behavior of soils around the pile is the main parameter and has a great impress on the results. In this paper the behavior of pile and soils around the single pile with respect to the increase of axial or lateral loads were investigated. So that the interaction of sandy soil and pile were implemented with analysis piles under axial or lateral loads. Sensitivity analysis were done, so that the change of various parameters including a pile in one type of soil on the effect of load increasing (Load parameter), one pile in various soils with constant loading (parameter of soil type) or with change of pile diameter in one type soil and constant loading (parameter of pile diameter) what effect will have on displacements, internal forces and pile bearing capacity. Also in this thesis the pattern of soil deformation around the pile and extent of the effect of the soils around the pile under axial or lateral loads were investigated and analysed. Results show that, in the impress of axial load to pile, stress bulb or transferential stresses forms around the pile, and in the impress of the lateral load applying to the pile, resistant area of soil forms in front of the pile, which in this thesis we investigated them.
