National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Handbook on Design of Piles and Drilled Shafts Under Lateral Load.

PB85201085

Publication Date	1984
Personal Author	Reese, L. C.
Page Count	388
Abstract	This Handbook is specifically designed as a guide to highway engineers. It was used as a textbook for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) training courses on the above title. Several methods of analysis and design of piles under lateral loading are in use. Two methods are presented: the method of Broms, and the method where nonlinear soil-response curves, p-y curves, are employed. The latter method is given prominence because of its versatility. A computer program is presented for solving the equations giving pile deflection, rotation, bending moment, and shear. An iterative procedure is employed internally in the computer program because of the nonlinear response of the soil. Nondimensional curves are presented that can be used for 'hand' solution of the differential equation. Several examples are solved and the material is presented in a manner to simplify the necessary computations.
