ABSTRACT
In this paper, finite element models were presented to simulate the behavior of single suction single pile and triple clustered suction piles, respectively under different combinations of vertical and lateral loads, in order to make more practical comparison of single one with cluster piles in which both of models having the same weight are considered. This paper also investigated the behavior of cluster piles subjected to inclined loading and the influence of several parameters, such as attachment point and loading angle, cluster pile configuration and structure connection between piles are also a variable to be considered into the model analysis.

Response of piles due to lateral slope movement
A displacement method using the FLAC^3^D program is used to evaluate the response of piles caused by an embankment slope in a translational failure mode, induced by a weak soil layer or a liquefied layer beneath the embankment. The analyses include the ...
Lateral load estimation from visco-plastic mud-flow around cylindrical row of piles
In this paper, the influence of slow and creeping flow of mud/slurry is modelled as a visco-plastic fluid around cylindrical row of piles. The study is carried out theoretically using principles of applied fluid mechanics. The research initiates from ...
