However there is no a commonly-acceptable procedure for evaluating lateral loat capacity of this type of structures on soft ground. In this paper, an approximation based on upper-bound limit analysis of plasticity is proposed for assessing the ultimate lateral load bearing capacity of large cylindrical structures. And it is verified by a comparative study with finite element solutions by use of finite element analysis software ABAQUS. For the large cylindrical structure which is to be employed in the second-phase project of the deep-water channel of the Yangtze estuary, a number of parametric computations are conducted. The numerical results computed by the proposed
