Analyze a group of piles for loads in any direction using the same advanced soil-structure model used in the Static Pile program. Piles may be located at different elevations and be battered independently.
Pile Group Analysis is the most advanced pile group analysis program
available. While other programs
use simple rigid body principles to determine the distribution of forces to
individual piles, Pile Group Analysis does a comprehensive analysis of the
pile-soil interaction to determine the distribution.
Pile Group Analysis is an advanced structural engineering program that uses
a finite element model to simulate a wide range of non-linear behavior. However, since the program created the model automatically, little
user input is required - in fact, the only has 4 input dialog boxes!

Key program features include:
-
Skin friction with depth-dependent slip threshold and friction
pressure.
-
Depth-dependent horizontal subgrade modulus with non-linear
profile.
-
Depth-dependent soil plastic limit.
-
Vertical subgrade modulus at pile tip.
-
Input up to 99 piles!
-
Each pile can have a unique length, elevation, bearing and
batter.
-
Loads include forces and moments in all three directions (X, Y
and Z).
-
Users can input both vertical and lateral pile group factors.
-
To-scale plots of the pile locations, which can be printed and
saved to a DXF file.

-
Digital Canal's Pile Group Analysis can be bought separately-you
don't need to buy a "structural system" or "engineering library"
to get started.
-
Reports are in Microsoft Word format (RTF) giving you unequalled
portability, convenience, longevity and control.
-
Flexible unit controls allow for US or metric calculations.
-
User defined "default data" helps you eliminate redundant inputs
from one design to the next.
-
Simple file format-only one file per project, which can be
opened and saved in typical Windows fashion.
