Meyerhof's solution

Meyerhof's solution is a mathematical model used in soil mechanics to analyze how a pile (a deep foundation) behaves when loaded vertically. It helps predict the amount of settlement and the load a pile can carry safely by considering the soil’s strength and stiffness. The solution simplifies complex soil-pile interactions into formulas, allowing engineers to design foundations that ensure stability and prevent excessive sinking or failure. Essentially, it provides a practical way to estimate how a pile will perform under load, ensuring structures rest safely on challenging soil conditions.
