【 摘 要 】

A set of dimensionless parameters called Pi terms are derived from a set of variables influencing the behaviour of a structural system to represent the behaviour of the system using the principle of similitude. It can be done using Buckingham's - theorem or using Rayleigh method. Both the methods derive a set of pi terms which can be used to predict the behaviour of the system under consideration. A structural system of a laterally loaded pile was tested innumerical software, PLAXIS-3D and the results are compared with the predictions using the pi terms. The results are found to be comparable and hence the derived pi terms and the scale factor can be considered represent the laterally loaded pile soil system with a reasonable accuracy.
