“…This article explores the performance of battered single piles in a sand test tank to resist lateral soil movement using model testing methods. However, there has been no discussion on composite piles under active loads, such as pile raft foundations [44][45][46], as well as issues related to unsaturated soil [43,47] and moisture migration [48][49][50], which still need to be further addressed.…”

The performance of passive battered piles resisting the embankment-induced lateral soil movements may differ from that of the active battered pile and axially loaded existing vertical piles adjacent to embankment constructions. This study was part of a preliminary feasibility investigation for a reinforcement plan of an actual embankment project, aiming to experimentally investigate the performance of passive battered piles under embankment-induced lateral soil movement. To this end, a sequence of reduced-scale model tests of battered piles near the surcharges was first designed in sandy soil with a similarity ratio of 1:30. The effects of pile inclinations (β = −20°, −10°, 0°, +10°, and +20°), surcharge magnitudes, and constraint conditions at the pile tip (free-tip and fixed-tip) on the responses of passive battered piles were explored. Finally, the response characteristics of battered piles resisting the embankment-induced lateral soil movement were analyzed to clarify the working mechanism of these battered piles.
