KxGenerator – User’s manual
The program allows the user to freely change the coefficients depending on the location of the pile in
the foundation – e.g. the pile may be located in the first or farther rows, the pile may be located in
the outermost or inner row. The instruction how to define coefficients n1 and n2 is presented in pt. 6.
The scheme of pile foundation presents values of the coefficients n1n2 product for all four
directions of the horizontal load, and separately for each pile. The product of the n1n2 coefficients
(in line with formulas for Kx and Rgr described in pt. 6) reduces the value of the stiffness and
maximum horizontal soil response depending on the adjoining pile spacing and direction of the
horizontal load impact.
