In place ‘of the exponents —1/1, ~3/7 and ~5/7 above, he reports values of —0:170, —0407 and 063 respectively. Over the range of pile tffaess ratios commonly encountered (500< Ey/G*=< 10%), the discrepancies between the two seis of exponents would only amount to about 10% diflerene in the calculated deformation of the pile ‘The relationshizs given by equations (7) are senerally in good agreement with results obtained ‘sing: an integral equation approach (Poulos, 197la; Banerjee & Davies, 1978) As an example Fig. 3 shows a comparison of the computed deflexion ofthe pile due to an applied load Hf. The integral equation results show some dependence of the predicted pile deformations on the pile length, even for relatively flexible pilee where the pile length should "not affect the “ground evel ded ae easuea Mu: Nm Fig. 10.
