| Description: | Miscellaneous Paper Abstract: The results of several repetitive lateral load tests on single piles from previous studies were analyzed. Current techniques for predicting the cyclic and static behavior of piles were reviewed, and predictions of both static- and cyclic-lateral-load behavior were compared with measured behavior. The scour phenomenon that occurs when water above the ground surface flows into and out of any gaps that form between the pile and clay during cyclic loading was examined. Conclusions are drawn related to the relevance of the studies reported herein to current procedures of estimating the response of piles ln clay due to cyclic lateral loading.
