Pile Group

This program is used to analyze a pile group (pile raft foundation with a rigid pile cap) using both spring method (FEM), or analytical solutions. Both floating piles and piles fixed into subsoil can be considered.

Main Features

Analytical solutions and Spring method 3D (FEM) analysis;
Analysis of vertical bearing capacity of a group of piles in cohesive soil as a rigid earth block according to FHWA standards;
Analysis of vertical bearing capacity of a group of piles in cohesionless soil ( NAVFAC DM 7.2, Effective stress, CSN 73 1002 );
Reduction of vertical bearing capacity of a pile group ( UFC 3-220-01A, La Barré, Seiler-Keeney );
Settlement analysis of a pile group in a cohesive soil as a settlement of substitute foundation;
Settlement analysis of a pile group in cohesionless soil according to Poulos (load-settlement curve);
Analysis of rotation, deformation and displacement of a rigid pile cap;
An arbitrary number of load cases and their combinations;
Hinged or fixed connection between piles in a group and a rigid pile cap;
Floating, rested or fixed piles into the foundation subsoil;
Analysis of group of micropiles;
Possibility to introduce inclined piles and general shape of a rigid pile cap;
An automatic post-calculation of springs along the pile length piles from soil properties;
Possibility to introduce both horizontal and vertical springs along the pile length;
Distribution of displacements and internal forces along each pile in a group;
Dimensioning of a pile reinforcement according to EN 1992-1 (EC 2), BS, PN, IS, AS, ACI, GB, CSN, SNiP.
