Abstract: This paper presents a summary of a literature review on models and theories on soilpile interaction under cyclic lateral loads and how loads influence on the stiffness of pile group. Furthermore, the interaction effect in pile groups such as load distribution among the piles, group efficiency and its effect on pile axial capacity are discussed.

Key words: Cyclic Lateral Loads, Pile Groups, Soil Pile Interaction, Stiffness of Piles, Load Distribution
