The lateral load response of a monopile is often modelled by p-y curves.However, the traditional formulation of p-y curves is unable to describethe behavior of liquefied soil. This paper presents a numericalinvestigation of how to develop p-y curves for monopiles installed inliquefiable soil. A monopile is modelled in the 3D finite elementsoftware package PLAXIS 3D, where a soil model able to captureliquefied soil behavior is applied. The numerical results are used toextract relevant data to assess liquefaction in the soil. Based on thisinformation, p-y curves are generated for the liquefied soil.
