N2 - The purpose of this chapter is to give a short introduction to single piles subjected to lateral loading. First, the observed behaviour of laterally loaded piles is described, i.e. the effects of loading conditions, installation procedure, pile type etc. on pile behaviour are presented (section 1.2). The description is based on results of laboratory tests, full-scale field tests as well as numerical investigations presented in literature. Second, general methods that attempt to model lateral pile response are discussed in section 1.4. Third, focus is paid to a widely used method for prediction of the response of a lateral loaded pile, namely the Winkler approach in which the pile is modelled as an elastic beam on an elastic foundation (section 1.5). The soil response and thereby the elastic foundation is represented by springs with nonlinear behaviour (p-y curves). In section 1.6 different types and formulations of p - y curves are given. It should be mentioned that the scope of this report does not comprise general guidelines and practical considerations regarding design. See offshore standards for description of this topic, e.g. DNV (2004b) (Det Norske Veritas), CEN (2004) (European Committee for Standardization), DNV (2004b) (Det Norske Veritas), CEN (2004) (European Committee for Standardization), ISO (2001) (International Organization for Standardization) and API (1993) (American Petroleum Institute).
