A 15 m pile is driven into clay with a subgrade modulus (ksub) of 30 000 kPa/m. The concrete pile has a diameter of 500 mm. E concrete = 28e6 kN/m² The pile is subjected to a horizontal load of 130 kN at ground level. Calculate the bending moment distribution at 1m intervals along the length of the pile.
