Specifies the value of the soil displacement at which the ultimate lateral restraint load is developed. This is calculated using as the following equation:

dP = 0.04 (H + D/2)

However, the calculated value must be limited to a maximum multiple for the pipe outer diameter (D). Typical values are between 0.1 and 0.15.
