Laterally loaded piles 6

[PAeng22]

Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of "Design of Laterally Loaded Piles", Bengt & Broms, Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundation, ASCE, Vol 91, SM3, May 1965?

Try the Linda Hall Library

http://www.lindahall.org

For a nominal coping fee they can get you most any journal article in science and engineering. They can fax e-mail or regular mail the article. ASCE should have it also.

dmsbeam,

You may also be interested in obtaining "Design and Construction of Driven Piles - Volume 1" available for free download from FHWA (

http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/geopub.htm).

This publication discusses both Broms and Reese methods and gives recommendations for lateral capacity of pile groups (based on the latest research at the time).

Check with a geotech firm in your area who have "been around awhile". They probably have it in their library. I have all the volumes from '75 on, but all are in storage - too hard to lug about. The older Geotechniques are pretty good too.

You may be interested in "Laterally Unsupported Pile Study" and "How To Determine Lateral Load Capacity Of Piles" you can obtain both from my website (link below)

You might also find the paper "Analysis and Design of Laterally Loaded Piles and Caissons in a Layered Soil System" by T.R. Naik and A. H. Peyrot, found in Methods of Structural Analysis, Vol.II, ASCE, 1976 helpful. It extends Broms' paper to layered soils.

jheidt2543, this reference sound interesting, but I have not been able to find any reference to it elsewhere. I have searched ASCE's database (pubs.asce.org). Can you confirm that this is an ASCE publication?

Panars:

The two volumn set is out of print, BUT you can find a used copy of the books at

http://www.alibris.com

for about $40 for the two books (well worth it) or check

http://www.bookfinder.com

You might also ask for a copy of the paper at

http://www.lindahall.org.

If none of those work, send me your fax number and I will fax you a copy of the paper.

Thanks. I have found it at a library where I can get it through interlibrary loan. I thought the ASCE database included all their publications, even those out of print. Evidently this is not true.
