Abstract
This paper presents a formula how to estimate numerically the elastic settlement of a pile in ground subject to static loads, assuming that the pile and the soil are the elastic materials and that the settlement of pile head consists of both the pile deformation itself and the settlement of soil beneath the pile base. The solution was required in order that the skin friction and the stresses in the soil around the pile should fulfill the conditions of equilibrium and of boundary in the ground of half space.
