calculation of slide downward soil load on piles?
(OP)
It might be a very simple question. But..., too many various kinds of tricks make me nervous. I would like to make sure there is no tricks in calculating the slide down soil load on piles. Please see attached word document, is vertical load of soil on the pile simply equals 9.49 kips?
Thanks a lot.

If the point load acts on the pile with a 30 K force at the 3 to 1 angle then yes, the vertical component is 9.48 K. The bigger problem is that the lateral component is 28.5 K.
