Design methods for deep foundations
… part of this study was the development of a simplified procedure for analyzing laterally loaded piles and drilled shafts. A computer program that can be used to estimate deflections and maximum bending moments in single fixed-head piles (or drilled shafts) and in groups of fixed-head piles …

Investigation of a matrix solution of variable cross-section columns
In 1949, W. T. Thompson proposed a procedure for the solution of an n-section column using the matrix calculus. Since the matrix method was rather long and unfamiliar to most engineers, it was felt that a further investigation was warranted in the hope that 2 further development of the Thompson …
