4. Insulated pile under transverse load
The developments below concern the case of a vertical pile. It can be assumed that they remain valid for an inclined pile whose load component is normal to its axis (inclination less than 20°). The special case of bars is examined in paragraph 4.3.5 .
4.1 Classical rigid-plastic theory
Conventional calculation of piles under transverse loads assumes that the soil is entirely in the failure state in the abutment and abutment zones. We can therefore calculate a head limit load...
