cais the average
undrained shear strength, ΞΈ is the angle of the slope
measured from the horizontal, and
H = depth from ground surface to where the soil resistance is calculated.
For sand, the following equations presented by Reese et al. (2005)
can be used to modify puof soil near surface except that the horizontal surface needs to be adjusted as a slope. The soil resistance at the front of the pile is Equation A)
