Hello
I am trying to determine the required pile length to resist moment and horizontal loading.
I have all the required soil parameters (phi, cu, weight) however I am finding it difficult in to resolve the moment loading with the applied horizontal load (approx 10% of the moment load).
I have investigated the charts by Broms and the Brinch Hanson method. In the former method two charts are presented for short and long piles. Previously (when I only have horizontal loads) I have first calculated H/cuD^2 or H/KpD^2gamma for a given e/D then determined L on the short pile chart. Following this I use the second chart for long piles to calculate the required moment capacity of the pile. How would this work for combined loading?
Any help would be most appreciated.
