Lateral Load Calculations for Piles by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes the Broms method for calculating the lateral breaking load on short piles installed in cohesive soils. The method assumes that the soil reaches its ultimate strength of 9 times its undrained cohesion at a width equal to the diameter of the pile. It calculates the maximum moment at the head and base of the pile and solves the resulting equation to find the breaking load. It also presents a numerical example to illustrate the calculations.
