Simplified lateral analysis of deep foundation supported bridge bents: Driven pile case studies

A simplified approach for modeling soil and foundation system supported bridge bents is applied to three bridges that represent three pile types and three superstructures. This point-of-fixity approach is applied by modeling the bridge bent substructure as an elastic frame. The models are compared w...
