Étude et modélisation numérique de l’interaction sol pieu sous chargement latéral cyclique

Abstract

Over the last few years, the development structure (off-shore, on-shore) has called for studies on the behaviour of laterally cyclically loaded piles. The work presented herein addresses the problem of the limite element analysis of a laterally cyclically loaded on a vertical pile. To reproduce the basic features of the interface behaviour, an interface model is formulated and special contact elements are proposed.
