Figure A Normalized p-y curve for stiff clay with free water – cyclic loads (after Dunnavant and
O’Neill 1989).
The following steps can be followed to construct the p-y curve in stiff clays with free water at depth z. Static Loading For static loading, follow the steps indicated below to construct the p-y curve as shown in Figure A
1. Obtain the profiles of undrained shear strength (C
u
) and effective unit weight (γ′).
2. Select pile/shaft diameter D.
