The complexities of designing piles for lateral loads are manifold, as many forces are critical to the design of big structures such as bridges, offshore and waterfront structures, and retaining walls. The loads on structures should be supported either horizontally, laterally, or in both directions. Most structures have in common that they are founded on piles. To create solid foundations, the pile designer is driven to find the critical load on a certain structure, either by causing overload or by inducing excessive lateral deflection.
