This paper presents results from a series of model tests of single vertical piles subjected to lateral monotonic pile head loading. Model tests were carried out in sand under a simulated field stress condition using the hydraulic gradient similitude technique. Studies were focused on examining various factors that affect the soil-pile interaction in terms of P–y curves. It was found that the P–y curves are highly nonlinear and stress-level dependent but are insensitive to the pile head loading conditions. The P–y curves at depths below one pile diameter were found to be normalized by the maximum soil Young's modulus Emax and the pile diameter. Comparison was made between the experimental P–y curves and those recommended by the American Petroleum Institute (API). It was found that the experimental P–y curves were significantly different from the API P–y curves. New procedures for constructing P–y curves are proposed and verified by numerical analyses of the observed model pile response. The results indicat...
