Piles are often installed in sloping rock fill for the construction of marginal wharves. Though much information is available on the lateral performance of piles in sloping sand, silt, and clay profiles, only limited information is available on the lateral performance of piles in sloping or horizontal rock fill. This paper summarizes the results of a recent research effort using centrifuge and numerical models, as well as field data, to better understand the performance of piles at marginal wharves. The results indicate that modifications to current analysis methods are required to accurately model the lateral behavior of piles in sloping rock fill. Modifications are required to account for the sloping profile, resulting in reduced p-y curve ultimate strength in the downslope direction. In addition, if the diameter of the rock fill is approximately the same as the pile diameter, the ultimate strength of the p-y curve in both the upslope and downslope directions needs to be increased to account for the discrete particle interaction between the piles and rock fill.
