laterally loaded piles in SAP2000
laterally loaded piles in SAP2000
(OP)
Hi All
I'm going to analysis a laterally loaded pile in SAP2000 (target deflection), firstly I'm using LPILE to calculate p-y curves, and then i put the p-y curves (force - deformation relationships) in sap2000, Link element (Multilinear Plastic), i set the load case to be nonlinear and deformation control, but everytime i run the analysis, the moments are highly different from LPILE results.
Can anyone help me?

I really need to verify SAP2000 model...
please help me!!!

You want to consider comparing the resultant deflected shape of the pile. If the piles have the same deflected shape (lateral displacements and rotations), then they will have the same shears and moments (assuming applied loads also match).

You can hand check the P-Delta effect: figure what it is......and see if that is the difference between the models.
