Abstract

Boundary Element Method progress into research foR study pile groups. This method including the non-linear conduct of the soil by a hyperbolic

modulus reduction curve; the non-linear response of rc pile section. The non- linear behaviour of soil is modelled using a hyperbolic modulus reduction

curve; the non-linear response of rcc pile sections is modelled using a hyperbolic modulus reduction curve, also considering tension stiffening's impact; and the effect of suction is modelled using rising the stiffness of shallow portions of soil. The pile group shadowing effect was analysed by a method comparable to that suggested in the Strain Wedge Model for pile group studies.In comparison to more complicated codes like VERSAT-P3D, PLAXIS 3D, and FLAC-3D, the suggested BEM approach requires less computing effort and produces accurate results utilising data from a normal site inquiry. A study of measured and calculated result for a horizontal loaded fixed-head pile group made up of rcc bored piles is provided . The findings of the recommended approach are found to be quite similar to those obtained in the field. To determine the ultimate lateral capacity and deflection under working loads, all tests were carried out to failure. When compared to straight shaft piles , test findings show a non linear response, a significant increase in lateral capacity, and a reduction in deflections at working loads .
