A methodology is developed to assess the load transfer (t–z) curves of piles in sandy soils under uplift/tension force based on soil–pile interaction. Compared to current practice, the proposed approach accounts for soil and pile properties and contributes to the improvement in the construction of a nonlinear (springs) t–z curve in sandy soil which can be utilized with other computer codes to model...
