Abstract
Finite number of pile elements are considered in load transfer method. And section force and movement of each pile element are computed by considering compatibilities between pile displacement and the load transfer along a pile and between displacement and resistance at the tip of the pile. For the conventional load transfer method, large amount of computations due to iterations are needed. Formulation of finite difference equation from the differential equation which depicts pile behavior under axial loading was accomplished in order to simplify the computation for obtaining pile section forces and displacements. By comparing the results between the simplified computation method and the reported data, there was no difference between the two results.
