effective moment of inertia in pile deflection

effective moment of inertia in pile deflection

(OP)
I need to use the effective moment of inertia in bridge pile design for L-pile. I do not believe the program automatically does this. All I can find is the effective moment of inertia for beams.

RE: effective moment of inertia in pile deflection

The effective moment of inertia is a section property...doesn't matter if you're using it as a beam, a column, or a pile.  Compute it based on the section dimensions and expected bending characteristics.

Check out PYGMY at www.geotechsolutions.net.  The program is really easy to use.
