AB  - Marine and harbor structures, wind turbines, bridges, offshore platforms, industrial
chimneys, retaining structures etc. can be subjected to significant lateral loads from various sources. Appropriate assessment of the foundations capacity of these structures is thus necessary, especially when these structures are supported by pile groups. The pile group interaction effects under lateral loading have been investigated intensively in past decades, and the most of the conducted studies have considered lateral loading that acts along one of the two orthogonal directions, parallel to the edge of pile group. However, because of the stochastic nature of its source, the horizontal loading on the pile group may have arbitrary direction. The number of studies dealing with the pile groups under arbitrary loading is very limited. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the arbitrary lateral loading on the pile group response, in order to improve (extend) the current design approach for laterally loaded pile groups. Free head, flexible bored piles in sand were analyzed through the extensive numerical study. The main hypothesis of the research is that some critical pile group configurations, loading directions, and soil conditions exist, which can lead to the unsafe structural design. Critical pile positions inside the commonly used pile group configurations are identified with respect to loading directions. The influence of different soil conditions was discussed.

AB  - The analysis of pile groups subjected to horizontal loading in one of two orthogonal directions is
a common problem in geotechnical engineering. However, the above analysis should sometimes
be extended with the additional cases of horizontal loading, in arbitrary direction. Although the
full scale experiments can provide the best insight into the above problem, they are expensive
and therefore not feasible solution. Instead, numerical (i.e. fi nite element) analysis usually
remains the ultimate tool for large scope studies.
The main objective of this research is the improvement of the analysis methodology of pile
group for the case of arbitrary static horizontal loading. Its influence is investigated numerically
to check for the existence of the "critical" pile group con figurations and soil conditions, that
may lead to the failure of the foundation structure and superstructure itself.
To reach the above objective, apriori sensitivity analysis of the considered problem and
identifi cation of the main problem parameters are conducted in the  first phase. After that, series
of complex 3D numerical models for laterally loaded pile group analysis have been generated
using PLAXIS 3D. Model validation is done by the back-calculation of available experimental
results. Parametric study of pile groups with various con figurations under arbitrary horizontal
loading is performed, with an emphasis on pile force distribution, bending response and pile
group efficiency.
Modelling and simulation processes and the optimization of the calculation time were improved
using the originally developed codes in Python. The use of multiple computers was
allowed by using the author's scripts developed within the thesis. The above research resulted
in thousands of numerical simulations, whose  findings provided the improved design methodology
of pile groups under arbitrary static horizontal loading.
