Assume the same pile is fully fixed into it's pile cap so it is fixed to rotate and free to
translate. Rather than driven into sand assume the pile is embedded in a clay soil with a
cohesion of c=2000lbft2 and a horizontal soil modulus K=32,000lbft3, assume there
is no applied moment at the head of the pile so Mg=0.
a. Calculate the load required to cause 0.25 inches of deflection using Broms
methods presented in 12.19 of your text.
