Hi CovertShear - the code is listed here: https://www.aij.or.jp/eng/publish/wwwpub.htm (7th one down in the structural engineering section) - I don't have a soft copy sorry.
EireChch - this approach is referenced in a New Zealand based code/report (Research Report 553) - I use Lpile also, was...
Thanks All. I guess I can argue if the pile structurally isnt over stressed, and the deflections are tolerable, than there is no need to consider what the limit of the lateral resistance of the soil/pile may be.
Thanks,
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...
