This communication describes an approximate method for generalizing homogeneous, linearly elastic, subgrade type solutions of axial pile response to account for soil creep behaviour. The method is very simple to apply and can be used in conjunction with either analytical or numerical elastic solutions. Exact solutions for limiting cases and finite difference solutions in both space and time are presented to confirm that errors introduced by the approximations are small. Because of the theoretical basis of this approach it is anticipated that the method can be used with other pile problems, lateral and axial, for both subgrade and continuum idealizations. Methods for generalizing the results to more complex conditions such as non-homogeneity or time varying loads are given.

The effect of axial load on the torsional pile response and the effect of torque on the axial pile response are investigated. To perform this investigation, a computer program was developed which uses the transfer matrix method tg analyse a pile supported by a series of coupled axial and torsional e
