ABSTRACT

Proceeding as in Step 1, Tb =2.71 m, and Mmax =0.77 x 1500 x 2.71 =3130 kN-m which is greater than My.

Step 3 The actual value of Puis therefore

Step 4 Groundline deflection

Tb = 2.58 m for Pu = 1253 kN

N _b=2.43XI176X(2.58)3 =01202 =120oWYg 4. m . cm43.5 x 10 The above calculations indicate that the negative batter piles are more resistant to lateral loads

than vertical or positive batter piles. Besides, the groundline deflections of the negative batter piles are less than the vertical and corresponding positive batter piles.
