LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF PILES IN SAND AND NORMALLY CONSOLIDATED CLAY

LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF A PILE DEPENDS OPON THE RELATIVE STIFFNESSES OF THE PILE AND THE SOIL, ROTATION RESTRICTIONS OF THE PILE, AND THE ALLOWABLE DEFLECTIONS IMPOSED BY THE SUPERSTRUCTURE. THE ARTICLE GIVES NOMOGRAPHIC CHARTS TO DETERMINE THE LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF TIMBER, STEEL, AND CONCRETE PILES IN USUAL SOIL CONDITIONS. THE CHARTS ARE BASED UPON TERZAGHI'S THEORY OF SUBGRADE REACTION AND THE WORK OF MATLOCK AND REESE ON PILES. /CE-ASCE/
