Abstract
The paper pertains to the analysis of piles embedded in liquefiable soils to predict its’ critical buckling load under partial to full loss of lateral support over a portion of the pile length The analysis is based on extension of Mindlin solution for a point load acting inside a semi infinite elastic half space Degenerated solutions obtained by using the developed method compares very well with reported results Parametric studies showed that the depth of liquefiable soil degradation of soil strength on liquefaction slenderness ratio pile stiffness factor and end conditions have significant influence on the buckling behavior of the piles
