Fixed Earth,
How closely would the results obtained by using the equations in Teng's book compare with the results obtained using a program such as LPile?
Thanks
How difficult is it to calculate the lateral capacity of a pile by hand using the elastic solution? What would be a good book that shows how the elastic solution is arrived at (i.e. what assumptions are made, what are its limitations...etc.).
Secondly, how closely does the elastic solution...
