moment in a lateral loaded pile

moment in a lateral loaded pile

(OP)
In the Structural Engineering Handbook by Gaylord & Gaylord, there is a formula for moment in a lateral loaded pile, M=Cm x Qhg x T.  Cm is defined, but I can't find a definition of T, other than z=x/T.  Can anyone tell me a definition for z, x, and/or T.  This is found on page 5-84 of my old copy.  Also, does anyone have any other good design methods.  I use Enercalc to determine pole embedment, but it doesn't give design forces for the pole (auger cast pile).  

RE: moment in a lateral loaded pile

For some of the other old ways, go to my web site (link below) and download the out-of-print documents "How To Determine Lateral Load Capacity Of Piles" and "Pole Building Design".
