REPORT 103 Design of laterally-loaded piles W. K, ELSON PhD CEng MICE“The project leading to this Report formed part ofthe joint Building Research Esablishment (BRE) and CIRIA programme of research on pling, The work was carried out wad con- (ree) CIRIA at Brighton Polytechnic where Dr Elson a Senior Lecturer. Dr C3 achld and Mr MJ Sharrock, both of Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick & Partners, contributed 10 the Report on editorial and technical aspects, respectively. Following CIRIA‘s usual practice, a Steering Group was est project, advised on the content ofthe Report and the vaiity comprised: ished which, throughout the information. That Group P. A.
