heal.abstract	A procedure is outlined for backfiguring the variation of secant shear modulus with strain-amplitude in rockfill, from the results of a lateral pile load test. The test involves a circular concrete pile, 0.75 m in diameter and 32 m in length, embedded in a layered soil profile, the top 5 m of which is a recently-placed rockfill. The results of the back analysis, plotted in the form of modulus-versus-strain are in very good qualitative and quantitative accord with (i) lab test results on large triaxial samples and (ii) backfigured results from the recorded seismic response of rockfill dams, developed by Seed & coworkers.	en
