Journal Paper
An approximate closed-form solution has been obtained to the problem of a
vertically loaded pile in a linear elastic soil. This solution has been derived by
uncoupling the load-transfer for the pile into separate shaft and base components.
Throughout the development of the analysis, well-proven numerical techniques
have been used to verify that the assumptions made are reasonable. The final form
of the solution gives the load-settlement ratio of the pile in terms of the pile
geometry and stiffness and soil stiffness. The analysis has been used to backanalyze pile tests, enabling immediate estimates of the soil stiffness profile to be
made from the measured load-settlement curve of the pile. The application of the
method to pile design is demonstrateddesign curves being sketched for piles of
different geometries in two typical soft clay deposits.

An inexpensive and realistic procedure is developed for estimating the lateral dynamic stiffness
and damping of flexible piles embedded in arbitrarily layered soil deposits. Starting point is the
determination of the pile deflection profile for a static force at the top using any reasonable
methodbeamonWinkler foundation, finite elements, wellinstrumented pile load tests in the
field, etc. Material as well as radiation damping due to waves emanating at different depths from
the pilesoil interface are rationally taken into account; the overall equivalent damping at the top
of the pile is then obtained as a function of frequency by means of a suitable energy relationship.
The method is applied to study the dynamic behavior of three different piles embedded in two
idealized and one actual layered soil deposit; the results of the method, obtained by hand
computations, compare favorably with the results of three dimensional dynamic finite element
analyses.
