LPILE question

LPILE question

LPILE question

(OP)
I am getting very large NEGATIVE deflections for my pier lpile runs when using a pinned head connection (hpile will be encased in concrete approx. 22ft above ground surface).  Can I use a fixed-head connection in this case.  If I use a pinned head connection, what could I use as a control option, how much deflection should I allow?   

RE: LPILE question

"(hpile will be encased in concrete approx. 22ft above ground surface)"

How could it be pinned?

RE: LPILE question

How much is the embedment length of the pile (into concrete)?

RE: LPILE question

(OP)
embedment 22 ft into concrete.   

RE: LPILE question

(OP)
sorry, i was unclear, it will be encased in the concrete from ground surface to 22 ft above ground surface.  So fixed head then?

RE: LPILE question

Fixed.

RE: LPILE question

Reason: The angle between the pile and the bottom face of the mass concrete will stay constant.

RE: LPILE question

(OP)
thank you very much

RE: LPILE question

My pleasure, if that solves your problem.
