    This document discusses methods for analyzing partially embedded pile foundations. It describes representing a partially embedded pile as an equivalent free-standing pile fixed at a depth below the surface for analysis purposes. It provides equations to calculate the depth of fixity based on pile and soil properties. The equivalent pile can be used to determine loads, moments, and the buckling load at the pile head, while other methods are needed to analyze the embedded portion.

    surface; however, this is not essen-


    tial. Further, the test pile need not
    be a prototype. It is only necessary
    that the pile be of sufficient depth to
    ~
    -a
    be considered infinitely long for the-
    oretical evaluation. It is necessary
    to make an assumption regarding the
    nature of the variation of k with re-
    spect to depth; for example, con-
    stant, stepped, or triangular. Then
    the appropriate nondimensional coef-
    ficients and expressions are used to
    back-calculate k or nh. Corrections
    may then be applied, as described Fiud Bosa

    previously, to account for group
    L
    action and cyclic loading.

    PARTIALLY EMBEDDED PILES


    Real
    Often, with partially embedded
    piles, the top of the pile is fixed to
    some degree and the structure is then
    statically indeterminate. It is most
    convenient to the structural engineer (o) (b)
    if the pile (Fig. lOa) can be replaced
    for the purpose of analysis by an Figure 10. Partially embedded pile.
    equivalent free-standing pile (Fig.
    lOb) that is fixed at some depth, Lr,
    below the ground surface. A theo-
    retically correct solution for deter-
    mining the depth to fixity, Lf, for long piles, i.e., D/T or D/R > 4, is available (10).
    The solution satisfies the conditions that the deflection and rotation at the top of the
    equivalent pile as well as the critical buckling load are the same as for the real pile.
    The depth to fixity is dependent on the stiffness of the pile and the magnitude and
    variation of the soil resistance but is reasonably constant when expressed in terms of
    the dimensionless parameters given previously. Lf can be determined with little ap-
    proximation from the following:
    Lu
    If k = constant and If > 2, then Lr = 1.4 R
    Lu
    If k = nh · X and T > 1, then Lr = 1. 8 T

    The equivalent cantilever beam-column defined can be used in conventional frame


    analyses for determining moments and loads at the top of the pile and for determining
    the buckling load for the pile. However, the moment computed for the fixed end of the
    equivalent pile will be considerably larger than the actual moment in the real pile.
    Therefore, to analyze the embedded portion of the pile it is necessary to resort to the
    procedures previously discussed, using the moments and loads at the groundline.
    These can be determined from basic principles of statics once the conditions at the top
    of the pile have been determined from the frame analysis (10).

    SUMMARY
    Pile foundations usually find resistance to lateral loads from (a} passive soil re-
    sistance on the face of the cap, (b) shear on the base of the cap, and (c) passive soil
    resistance against the pile shafts. The latter source is usually the only reliable one.
    An analysis of the problem should yield deflections, rotations, moments, shears, and
