The P-y method is a widely used approach in geotechnical engineering for analyzing the behavior of laterally loaded pile foundations in soil. It provides a way to model the lateral resistance (p) provided by the surrounding soil as a function of the lateral displacement (y) of the pile. This method is particularly useful for predicting how piles will behave under lateral loads, such as those caused by wind or seismic forces.
