Hi All,
I am using LPile to derive p-y curves for a pile. I am also cross checking these springs using an empirical method, which I think is based on the "Japanese design code for building foundations, (AIJ, 2001)" - unfortunately this is only available in japanese.
The empirical equation I am...
I frequently design piles subject to lateral loads using hand calcs (i.e. brohms method or similar). Using these methods, I apply a strength reduction factor (typically 0.5) to the ultimate lateral capacity calculated for a given pile.
I also use wallap or allpile to design piles, and when using...
