Pile-Soil Interaction Coefficients

This defines pile-soil interaction coefficients/curves, that are used by Pile-soil interaction properties.

Definition

Name

The name of the pile-soil interaction coefficients/curves.(PSIC)

Curve

For each PSIC, the coefficient $C(d)$ is a function of $d$, $d$ is normalised relative displacement, i.e. $d = δ/B \text{ or } δ/D$. $δ$, $B$ & $D$ are explained in Pile-soil interaction property table. If $d$ is outside the defined range on positive or negative side of PSIC curve, the last $C$ value on positive or negative side of the curve will be used as the corresponding $C$ value, i.e. the curve is extended horizontally on both positive and negative sides.
