Conclusions: Laterally Loaded
Monopiles in Normally to Moderately
Overconsolidated Clays
1. Normalizing p-y Curves by Diameter and
Ultimate Lateral Resistance Captures Effect of
Pile Diameter
2. Jeanjean (2009) p-y Curves Fit Laboratory and
Field Data Better than Matlock (1970) Curves
3. Secant Stiffness of Lateral Pile-Soil Response
Degrades by 20% to 30% within about 100
Cycles and then Stabilizes
4. Ultimate Lateral Capacity of a Pile Is Not
Affected by Previous Cyclic Loading

Future Work
1. Laterally Loaded Monopiles in Sand
2. Measuring Small-Strain Stiffness In Situ
