Styroform
Styroform
(OP)
Dear Experts,
I have been advised to check the lateral capacity of pile (Bored cast in site) in clay. Wherein skin of the pile is attached with Styroform material of 4inch(100mm) thick.
What would be the reduction of lateral resistance due to interaction between styroform and soil stiffness.

As for the lateral capacity, Geofoam has quite good properties, depending on the lateral pressures noted. See the attached table.

RE: Styroform
Just to understand the loads coming on to the pile, We have 3.5 tons lateral load and 2.5 tones compression and Uplift.No moment.
Few that in the industry that, the styroform area cannot eligible to provide lateral resistance. is it correct? should i ignore the lateral resistance for form area?

Regardless, often with lateral capacity the support from the upper 1-2m is ignored. I would only take the support provided from 2m below ground level
