Calculating Lateral Earth Pressure coefficient for piles
Calculating Lateral Earth Pressure coefficient for piles
(OP)
I am trying to calculate the lateral earth pressure coefficients for piles. I have been looking at several different methods for calculating this number, but ideally I want to incorporate the angle of internal friction, the type of soil in which the pile is being placed, AND the type of material the piling is. I am using timber, steel, and/or concrete piling material. I just figured there might be a way to have both the piling material and type of soil factored in, instead of just having one or the other which seems to be the case in the various methods I've seen (Nordlund, Meyerhof, etc...). Thanks in advance for your expertise and input.

The type of soil is simply characterized by phi and c, there is no provision though for the pile material, since no friction along the shaft is considered in this plasticity model (only horizontal component, shaft friction is considered in a separate plasticity model).
