Determine the pile head deflection at the working load

Reference no: EM131138704

A 500-mm-diameter timber pile of Young's modulus

Groundwater is at the surface. Using the application software program APILES (www.wiley.com/college/budhu),

(a) plot the lateral load-pile head deflection assuming free head pile, an earth pressure coefficient of Ks =1, and an adhesion factor of 0.5;

(b) determine the allowable lateral load;

(d) determine the pile head deflection at the working load. In APILES, select option 1, stiff clay, and input the effective unit weight of the soil when prompted. APILES creates a text fi le named apiles. txt in the folder that contains APILES. You can copy the data to Excel and plot the load-deflection curve.
