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
Analysis of vertical bearing capacity of a pile group of 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)
Spring method (FEM) – Analysis of a three-dimensional action of a group
of piles
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 for 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
