21. Pile subjected to lateral load : Analytical hand calculation implemented by programming
University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och designAbstract : The official recommendations in geotechnical engineering are according to Swedish practice to install inclined driven piles in order to resist external horizontal loads, which usually consist of windloads. These loads gets counteracted by utilizing the pile's axial load-bearing capacity, however when designing a foundation the use of inclined piles has proven to be problematic from a number of different perspectives.
