Correction Factor for Pile Compressibility Rk
The correction factor Rk represents the pile stiffness in dependence on the pile-stiffness factor K for various ratios of the pile length to pile diameter (l/d). Its values are provided by the following graphs, that are implemented in the program in a digital format.
