lateral load from drilled shaft on mse walls
lateral load from drilled shaft on mse walls
(OP)
can anyone advise me on the best procedure to take the results from LPILE or COM624 and convert it to soil pressures that could be transmitted to a mechanically stabilized earth wall?

The best I have seen is the method proposed by Budhu and Davis 1986 and 1987 and before that Teng.
The following equation works for granular soils. You can compute your lateral load by equating it to the area of a triangle. The embedded length minus the "ignore passive resistance" height is L, pier diameter is B, and the base of the triangle is 3*Gamma*B*Kp*L. The area would give you your lateral load directly.
However if you have a Moment in addition to the lateral load, then it may be faster to compute the required embedment by obtaining the following Teng paper:
"Tapered Steel Poles - Caisson Foundation Design" Prepared by Teng and Associates, July 1969
To get the Budhu and Davis method look at Amazon for "Foundations and Earth Retaining Structures" book by Budhu. It comes with APILES program that is very useful.
