Lateral Pile Load Calculator (Broms Method)

Determine ultimate lateral load capacity of single piles in cohesive and cohesionless soils using Broms (1964) simplified method for short and long piles.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.
