using com624 program
i have not used com24, but can you just apply a horizontal force at the top of the pile, and adjust it by trial and error until you get the lateral deflection you want?
i designed an integral abutment several years ago and used the aisi document you refer to. i called the author of the paper and he told me that he used a trial and error solution by varying the loads at the top of the pile.
