This paper describes simplified theoretical equations to estimate stresses in piles subjected to ground deformations. The proposed equations are derived with approximated ground displacement by polynomial function. The approximation is effective to solve the differential equation of deflection of piles considering ground displacement. These equations are very simple and efficient to estimate pile stresses at preliminary seismic design of pile foundation.
