Analytical Solution
The analytical solution assumes that the pile total compressive resistance Rc is derived as a sum of the pile base resistance Rb and the pile shaft resistance Rs (developed due to friction of the surrounding soil along the shaft). The following generally accepted methods are implemented into the program:
- NAVFAC DM 7.2
- Effective stress method
- API method
- Nordlund
- FHWA GEC 010
- Tomlinson
- CSN 73 1002
- CSN 73 1004
- CTE-DB SE-C
- SP 24.13330.2021
- SRPS EN 1997
Verification of pile bearing capacity depends on the selected verification methodology.
When running the compression pile analysis, the pile self-weight is introduced depending on the setting in the frame "Load". As for the tensile pile, the pile self-weight is always taken into account automatically. Based on the input load the program itself performs the verification analysis for either compression or tensile pile.
