Characteristic Pile Length for Laterally Loaded Vertical Piles Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Characteristic Pile Length = (Stiffness Of Pile/Coefficient of Horizontal Subgrade)^0.5
T = (EI/n_h)^0.5
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Characteristic Pile Length - (Measured in Meter) - Characteristic Pile Length is the length of pile.
Stiffness Of Pile - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - stiffness of Pile is the product of the modulus of elasticity and the element's second moment of area.
Coefficient of Horizontal Subgrade - Coefficient of horizontal subgrade is the reaction pressure sustained by the soil sample under standard conditions.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stiffness Of Pile: 12 Newton per Meter --> 12 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
