Analysis Of Static Lateral Load Test Of Battered Pile Group At I-10 Twin Span Bridge, Binay Pathak Jan 2011

Analysis Of Static Lateral Load Test Of Battered Pile Group At I-10 Twin Span Bridge, Binay Pathak

LSU Master's Theses

In offshore structures, battered piles have been used as an alternative to vertical piles because of their capability in resisting higher lateral loads. The foundations of the newly built I-10 Twin Span Bridge over Lake Pontchartrain, LA, mostly consist of battered piles group. Understanding the behavior of these batter pile group foundations under lateral loading is very important to the design of highway bridge foundations. This study focuses on the evaluation of the lateral responses of battered pile group subjected to lateral loading and assessment of the current design methodology used for the design of I-10 Twin Span Bridge over …
