Abstract
In this research, in order to evaluate the plastic limit load and also plastic design parameters of the long pile foundations subjected to horizontal loads, shakedown method is applied. In carrying out shakedown analysis and design methods, large plastic deformations and residual displacements could develop in the pile foundation which might lead to the failure of the structure. For this reason, complementary strain energy of residual forces proposed as a limit condition to control the plastic deformation of the pile structure. Furthermore, considering the uncertainties (strength, manufacturing, geometry) the limit conditions on the complementary strain energy of residual forces are assumed randomly and the reliability condition was formed by the use of the strict reliability index. The influence of the limit conditions on the plastic limit load and design parameters of the long pile in cohesionless soil subjected to lateral load were investigated and limit curves for shakedown load factors are presented. The numerical results show that the probabilistic given limit conditions on the complementary strain energy of residual forces have significant influence on the load bearing limit and the design parameters of pile foundations. The formulations of the reliability based problems lead to mathematical programming which were carried out by the use of non-linear algorithm.
