• For long flexible piles, the lateral deflection is very nearly zero for most of the
length of the pile and hence the length of the pile is not important.
• For short piles, the flexural rigidity of the pile loses its significance, the pile
tends to rotate as a unit, acting somewhat as a rigid member.
A batter and vertical pile combination that is usually employed in sheet-pile bulkhead
construction is shown in Fig.
