Abstract This paper presents results from a finite element study on the behaviour of a single pile in elastic–plastic soils. Pile behaviour in uniform sand and clay soils as well as cases with sand layer in clay deposit and clay layer in sand deposit were analysed and cross compared to investigate layering effects. Finite element results were used to generate p–y curves and then compared with those obtained from methods commonly used in practice. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
