ABSTRACT
Fixed-head Pile Long pile when f3 L > 1.5 Short pile when f3 L < 1.5 Tomlinson (1977) suggests that it is sufficiently accurate to take the value of k in Eq. (16.17)
as equal to k1 given in Table 14.1(b). Lateral deflections at working loads of piles embedded in cohesionless soils may be obtained
from Fig. 16.6 Non-dimensionless factor [yg(El)3/5 (nh)2/5]/p~ is plotted as a function of 1}L for various values of elL where Yg = deflection at ground level
11 = (~) 1/5 (16.18) nh = coefficient of soil modulus variation Pt = lateral load applied at or above ground level L = length of pile e = eccentricity of load.
