Papers/Reference for Caissons/piles

[ToadJones]

Anyone have a suggestion for a good reference or text on determining lateral forces on caissons and piles?
I am most interested in shears and bending moments due to soil pressures on caissons for power transmission poles and light poles.

Lateral forces?

Or lateral force resistance?

JAE-
Excuse my sloppy terminology.
I am essentially looking for a good reference on the design of reinforced concrete caissons/piles.

Lpile is relatively inexpensive software that does a nice job.

There is a Navy Design Manual (NAVFAC) 7.3 I think the number that has a little section on it. not great, but gives answers that correlate reasonably well with Lpile.

LPile is the program that geotechs typically use to give us shear and moment diagrams for us to design the reinforcing in caissons. If you have a geotech on board, they should be able to give you this information.
