Modeling Laterally Loaded Single Piles Accounting for Nonlinear Soil-Pile Interactions

Table 2

Variation of pile head displacement versus pile diameter in different linear analysis methods with constant EI for the pile.

Pile diameter (m)	Pile head deflection (mm)
	3D pile FEM	1D pile FEM	Consistent boundary matrix	Winkler foundation
1.00	32.5	68.3 (110%)	34.0 (5%)	25.2 (23%)
2.00	27.6	68.3 (148%)	27.5 (1%)	25.0 (10%)
4.00	20.9	68.3 (227%)	20.5 (2%)	24.3 (17%)
