Refer to Fig. Ex. 17.11. Determine for a free-head pier (a) the groundline deflection, and (b) the maximum bending moment. Use the Duncan et al., (1994) method. Assume R_{I}=1 in the Eqs (17.44) and (17.45).
P_{c}=1.57 d^{2}\left(E R_{I}\right) \frac{\gamma^{\prime} d \phi^{\prime} K_{p}}{E R_{I}}^{0.57} (17.44)
M_{c}=1.33 d^{3}\left(E R_{I}\right) \frac{\gamma^{\prime} d \phi^{\prime} K_{p}}{E R_{I}}^{0.40} (17.45)
