GEOSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS PILES
The GeoStructural Analysis Piles module allows you to design for single-pile load displacement performance, considering combined vertical, horizontal and moment loading.
Key Features
- Compute pile load-displacement curves through modeling the soil load deformation response as equivalent springs
- Output calculations, including bending moment, enable the structural design of the pile
- Model tapered piles through changing pile diameter as a function of depth
- Accommodate influence of installation method on pile performance
- Apply various pile cross-section shapes, including rectangle, circle (pipe), and H cross-sections
- Apply downdrag (negative skin friction) forces to model residual driving stresses or soil settlement
- Accurately model pile material, including steel, reinforced concrete, timber, and composite
- Check reinforced concrete cross-section design against a variety of industry design codes
- Determine the modulus of subsoil reaction around the pile against your own input or a variety of theories (Vesic, Mattlock and Rees, Ménard, Schmitt, and Chadeisson)
