any good reference and/or free software for timber pole embedded in soil
(OP)
I googled this and see some reference online.
I'm looking for a timber pole design embedded in ground and around 10' above ground to resist vertical and horizontal loads.
A free software would be helpful as well.

Scroll down under structural engineering, then Pole Foundation Analysis. Great spreadsheet with multiple methods written by Alex Tomanovich.

@jae, that is due to horizontal only but I have vertical and horizontal acting the same time.
I noticed in Alex excel, he uses the pile end bearing for vertical and soil "passive" pressure for horizontal
I can't find a reference where both vertical and horizontal acting the same time designing both the embedment and the timber pole itself.

The pole itself should likely then be designed as a fixed base beam-column per the NDS or whichever code governs in your area.

Any reference for timber pile embedment using skin friction for vertical load and that nomograph or something like that for horizontal load but acting the same time?
Or can I design the embedment using skin friction for vertical loads and the nomograph for horizontal loads and just choose the longer embedment?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
