ABSTRACT
As per the calculations shown above, the value of T will be known for any lateral load level P f This means [Ptl1 will be known. The values of Am and Bmare functions of the depth coefficient Z which can be taken from Table 16.2 for the distance x(Z = x/T). The moment at distance x will be known from the above equation. In the same way moments may be calculated for other distances. The same procedure is followed for other load levels. Fig. 16.23 gives the computed moment distribution along the pile axis. The measured values of M are shown for two load levels Pt =67.4 and 80.1 kips. The agreement between the measured and the computed values is very good.
