The program verifies the bearing capacity and settlement of either an isolated pile or a group of piles based on the results provided by static penetration tests (CPT)
Main features
- Analysis of the end-bearing capacity and frictional resistance of piles using the following standards and methods:
- EN 1997-3
- NEN 6743
- LCPC (Bustamante)
- Schmertmann
- Circular or rectangular pile cross-section (with the option of base enlargement)
- Takes account of pile and installation technology
- Automatic calculation of adjusted bearing capacity and skin friction coefficients depending on the selected analysis method
- Loading due to normal force and surcharge
- Built-in database of soils
- General layered subsoil
- Import CPT tests in TXT format, gINT format or NEN standard
- Verification based on the theory of limit states or factor of safety
- Calculation of the limit load curve and pile settlement for a given loading
- Accounts for negative skin friction
