Data-Boundary Conditions 1) Shear and Moment Use for Free Head Conditions, Pile wall as an example) 2) Shear and Slope (Use for Fixed Head Conditions when slope = 0 Shear and Rotational Stiffness May also be used for Fixed Head condition if a large rotational stiffness is applied Used for elastically-restrained pile-head connection Displacement and Moment Not commonly used in our work Displacement and Slope Retaining wall on top or toe of slope condition
