Nominal resistance in

axial compression

of a single pile or pile group. These calculation methods are used to determine the long-term resistance of the foundation and soil resistance subject to scour, downdrag, or events in the long term. Static analyses are used to establish minimum pile penetration requirements, lengths for bid quantities, and estimates of soil resistance at the time of driving (SRD) and the required nominal driving resistance (R

ndr

).

Nominal resistance in

axial tension

of a single pile or pile group. These calculations are performed to determine the soil resistance to uplift or tension loading.

Nominal

lateral

resistance and lateral deformation of a single pile or pile group. These soilstructure interaction analysis methods consider the soil strength and deformation behavior as well as pile structural properties and are used in pile type selection.

Settlement

of a pile group. These calculations are performed to determine the vertical foundation deformation under the structure service loads.
