| Abstract: |
| This paper presents an attempt made to investigate the behavior of single vertical steel hollow pile embedded in sand subjected to compressive inclined load at various inclination angles α through FEM package MIDAS GTS/NX 2019. The effect of the inclination angle and slenderness ratio on the performance of the pile were investigated. Inclined load caring capacity and pile stiffness as well as lateral deformation profiles along the pile were presented. The global, vertical, and horizontal load displacements as well as the deformation profiles along the pile and the pile stiffness are significantly affected by α. Whereas, P-Y curves of the pile are independent of α. also the slenderness ratios are markedly affecting the behavior of the pile. In addition, there was a noticeable effect of the horizontal component on the vertical behavior of the pile whereas there was no influence of the presence of vertical load on the horizontal behavior of the pile. |
