Abstract

This paper presents the inclined failure load of the deeply embedded square pile in cohesive soils. The two dimensional plane strain finite element is employed to determine stability of this problem. The deeply embedded square pile has the width and length (B). For finite element analyses, the clay is modelled as the volume element with the Mohr-Coulomb material in an undrained condition. The pile is modelled as the volume element with the elastic material. Soil-structure interfaces are used around the circumferential surfaces of pile.  Adhesion factor (a) between clay and pile is also studied in the range of 0 – 1 with increment of 0.25. Adhesion factor of zero means fully smooth surface and that of unity 1 means fully rough surface. The results of analyses are presented in terms of the inclined failure load divided by the undrained shear strength and the width of pile at various degrees of load inclination.
