Lateral Capacities of Steel H-Piles
First off, I would like to thank everyone for the advice and information. It is a great thing that one can use the knowledge and experience of so many engineers and that those engineers are willing to provide it. Again thank you to you all. To determine the lateral load capacity of a pile...- jdahnke

Lateral Capacities of Steel H-Piles
wiktor, I appreciate your input. Yes, I am assuming a point in the ground at which point the piles become fixed in order to calculate the stresses in the piles. In my case I am assuming 10' below the bottom of the bent. I could reduce this number and that would reduce my bending moments in...- jdahnke

Lateral Capacities of Steel H-Piles
I am trying to design a pile bent for a large prefabricated steel truss bridge. This bridge has a rather large (on the order of 55k) lateral wind load. This wind load is causing excessive stresses in my H-piles based on my calculations. The piles are oriented with the strong axis parallel to...- jdahnke
