Example-1
• A steel pipe pile of 61 cm outside diameter with a wall
thickness of 2.5 cm is driven into loose sand under submerged
conditions to a depth of 20 m. The submerged unit weight of
the soil is 8.75 kN/m3and the angle of internal friction is 33°.
The El value of the pile is 4.35 x 1011 kg-cm2(4.35 x 102 MN-
m2). Compute the ground line deflection of the pile under a
lateral load of 268 kN at ground level under a free head
condition using the non-dimensional parameters of Matlock
and Reese. Assume the nh value as 6 MN/m3 for a submerged
condition.
