    Hello, im needing to create a design for a single pile in sand under combined loading at the pile head. The pile head needs to be offset above the soil top. then i need to look at the lateral responses. Just looking for advice thanks.

    You do have to preselect the columns and beams (and braces) that will be part of the main lateral force resisting system (moment frames or braced frames primarily). While you might expect the program to do this for you it's actually a lot simpler if you…
