GGU-LATPILE: System description
As a worked example, the following system is to be analysed:
Figure 2 Worked example
The system contains three different soils. On the active side is a berm with a surcharge of 10 kN/m². On the passive side is a further berm. The subgrade reaction modulus profile is presented graphically. A steel pile (HEB 300) is to be analysed. A moment of 15 kN m and a horizontal load of 20 kN acts on the pile head. The effective direction of the load can be seen in Figure 2. Groundwater is 2.0 m below the pile head. The pile is 7.5 m long.
