One of the most common methods to analyze and design monopiles under lateral load is load-displacement curves, particularly the p-y curves, at different locations of the structure. Thus, in order to investigate the soil-monopile behavior and interaction under lateral load is physically modeled and tested by utilizing the Geotechnical Centrifuge of Tehran University in the Ng space. In this study, five modeling tests are designed by considering the following two parameters with changes in their values and ratios: the penetration depth of the pile in soil (L) and the free length of the pile (e). The existing p-y curves in API are extracted and compared to experimental curves to observe differences and make the necessary modifications.
