Centrifugal model tests on horizontal bearing behaviors of piles at different loading points

Through centrifugal model tests, 95<>g centrifugal acceleration is applied for studing the effects of loading points on horizontal bearing capacity, displacement, moment and inclination of piles at different loading points. After comparative analysis of two groups of model tests with horizontal loading point <>h=159 and <>h=135 mm, it is found that the horizontal bearing capacity of the piles decreases with the increase of the horizontal loading point under the same displacement conditions, and the pile foundation moment, inclination and displacement increase with the increase of the horizontal loading point under the same loading conditions.
