Three-dimensional numerical analysis of under-reamed pile in clay under lateral loading

Unlike the bearing and uplift capacities of under-reamed pile, the lateral resistance of under-reamed pile is studied by a very few researchers. Therefore, in the present study, a three-dimensional numerical analysis is carried out to study the response of under-reamed pile in clay under lateral loading. In the numerical analysis, various parameters such as embedment length to shaft diameter ratio (Lu/D), top bulb distance from the base to bulb...
