Pile Group Analysis & Design

Module Summary

• Analyzes a pile group for the applied loads and returns the maximum and minimum pile forces
• Accommodates pile groups with up to twelve piles
• All pile locations are user-defined, making it possible to evaluate pile groups in their as-driven locations
• Allows vertical loads to be applied at up to three different locations on a pile cap
• Force distribution is based on the assumptions that the pile cap is rigid and that all piles have equal vertical stiffness
• Offers the convenience of fill-in-the-blanks style forms and instantaneous recalculation to facilitate the evaluation of “what-if” scenarios
• Provides highly efficient results summaries as well as generous detail in the on-screen and printed results
