Investigation of p-y Behaviors of a Cyclic Laterally Loaded Pile in Saturated Silty Sand

Table 4

Model pile testing conditions.

Test no.	Soil conditions	Lateral loading conditions (magnitude of cyclic load)
T1	Loose state (Dr = 40%)	Static loading
T2 to T4		Cyclic loading (0.3Hus, 0.6Hus, 0.9Hus)
T5	Medium-dense state (Dr = 70%)	Static loading
T6 to T8		Cyclic loading (0.3Hus, 0.6Hus, 0.9Hus)
T9	Very dense state (Dr = 90%)	Static loading
T10 to T12		Cyclic loading (0.3Hus, 0.6Hus, 0.9Hus)
