Pile Lateral Load Analysis Using Beam on Elastic Foundation Method
LatPileB Function
Pile bending moments, forces and deflection due to lateral loads
=LatPileB(Segments, Loads, Support Stiffness, EI)
Input:
Segments 2 column range listing pile length and number of segments, from the top, pile may be divided into zon
Loads 3 column range listing applied loads: Node number, Shear Force and Bending Moment
Soil stiffness Single column range listing soil stiffness (kN/m/m length) at each pile node
EI Single column range listing pile section stiffness (EI) at each pile node
Note: If the ranges specified for Soil-stiffness and/or EI have fewer rows than the number of nodes
then the last provided value is applied to nodes to the bottom of the pile
Sign Convention Assuming a vertical pile, with nodes listed from top to bottom:
Deflections and loads are positive from left to right
Positive bending moments cause compression in the right side of the pile
Output:
Output is a 4 column array, enter as an array function:
To enter an array function: Enter the function in the top left cell of the output range
