Abstract

A method of design for short, square pier foundations in cohesionless soil is presented for the particular case where lateral load is applied well above ground level, a condition experienced by catenary mast foundations used in electrified rail networks for example. The method is based on three-dimensional non-linear finite element analyses incorporating the hyperbolic soil model and the moment-carrying capacities of piers ranging from 0.8-2.4m square and up to 2.4m deep for rotations under working conditions of 1° and 2° are given. The results are found to compare well with centrifuge tests on small model piers and with existing design methods.
