Gapping Effects in L-Pile?

Does L-Pile account for the effect of gapping effects in cyclic loading on a pile in cohesive soils for its deflection output? I know it modifies the p-y curve for cyclic loading, but didn't think the additional deflection due to gapping was accounted for; however, I find no mention of it anywhere.
