Fondations. Tunnels Résumé : The behavior of pile foundations subjected to horizontal loading is typically evaluated using horizontal load tests. Although load tests are valuable to understand site-specific soil-structure interaction phenomena, validated predictive methods are also useful during the design phase. In this study, the results from horizontal load tests are compared with methods which predict the horizontal bearing capacity of piles using in situ measurements of soil behavior. Specifically, several horizontal load tests were performed in order to evaluate the behavior of two 12-m long Strauss piles and four bored piles with similar length, all installed in a lateritic soil profile. Two prediction methods were evaluated using p-y curves computed from the results of Marchetti’s dilatometer test (DMT) results. The predictive methods using the p-y curves from the DMT showed good agreement with the behavior observed in the pile loading test.
