Assuming the bedrock to be massive, unjointed with the strength of 4000 psi concrete check out page 3 of this link for its load distribution. Its assumes moment equilibrum with a linear elastic stress and strain distribution per the ACI Code. The AASHTO model for Soldier Pile in rock looks nothing like it. Most of the rock socket load would be taken up right below the top and just above the bottom of the H Pile embedment. Note that 2.5 times the HP flange width is the max width for load distribution. Seems real rational to me for a solid rock condition. Any feedback would be appreciated.
