Deflection of Socketed Piles
The linear portion of the load-
settlement response can be relatively
____.
The pile head deflection ________
significantly once the linear portion
has passed.
Observations
In many instances, the _______________
governs the performance of a laterally
loaded socketed pile.
Thus the contribution of a rock socket is
relatively __________ if it is located 5
pile diameters below the ground. Design
the pile against ______ is usually
sufficient.

Considerations
During load test, the pile is a ________
pile with deflection and rotation.
The working pile is likely restrained by
a rigid pile cap (hence ____________)
and arranged in _______. Thus
deflection is likely to be ___ and BM is
likely to be _____.
