I know this is an old problem difficult to calculate,
but I am trying to roughly estimate the horizontal
stresses acting along a displacement pile driven in
sand. Does anybody know a better way to do this other
than estimating the horizontal coefficient of lateral
earth pressure from back-analysis of empirical methods
such as Vesic (1967), Meyerhof (1956) or Nordlund
(1963)? I am also trying to tackle this problem by
using cavity expansion theory.
Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks
Mike Pollockus
