Dr. Dan Brown of Auburn University in the USA has done some full-scale
tests in the weak rock of the piedmont region, I believe. Also, if you
aren't already aware, Reese and Van Impe have written a new textbook,
"Single Piles and Pile Groups Under Lateral Loading" published in 2001
by Balkema. This contains info from lateral load tests and has an
extensive bibliography that should be useful to you.

Subject: Laterally loaded piles in rock

My name is Bernie Francis and I have recently commenced a Masters at
Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
I am researching Laterally Loaded Piles in a Weak Rock Mass.
Associated with my initial literature research, I am trying to collate
any laterally loaded, full-scale field tests carried out in rock.
Unfortunately I have had very little success in tracking down published
information in this area.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly
appreciated.
Kind Regards
Bernie Francis
