ABSTRACT
In this study a closed form solution is derived for the determination of deformation in soil surrounding a laterally and torsionally loaded pile. The solution is based on the assumption that the pile is relatively rigid while the soil is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic and elastic. Results of the study are presented in dimensionless graphs to facilitate quick and easy determination of deformation in the affected soil.
