handles virtually all types of piles, including steel pipes, H-piles, pre-cast concrete piles, auger-cast piles, drilled shafts, timber piles, jetted piles, tapered piles, piers with bell, micropiles (minipiles), uplift anchors, and shallow foundations. One of the major advantages AllPile has over other pile software is that it combines most pile analyses in a single program. It calculates compression (with settlement), uplift, and lateral capacity all together. Users only need to input the data once instead of several times in different programs. AllPile makes pile analysis both economical and time-efficient. AllPile is suitable for all engineers, even those without too much pile analysis experience. It helps structural engineers choose soil parameters, and geotechnical engineers choose pile properties. AllPile is a must-have tool for structural, geotechnical, and construction engineers.
CALCULATION METHOD
Vertical analysis is based on the approaches and methods recommended in FHWA, AASHTO, and NAVY DM-7 (NAVFAC) manuals. The compression capacity is the combination of skin friction and tip resistance. The uplift capacity is the sum of skin friction and pile weight. Lateral analysis uses COM624S, which uses the same methods as COM624 of FHWA with some improvements. It uses the finite-difference method to model soil-structure interaction. AllPile is a pre-process and Windows interface of COM624S, which is fee in the package. AllPile creates a COM624S input file and calls COM624S internally. COM624S input and output files can be directly viewed and printed. For comparison, you can directly run COM624 yourself using the input files created by AllPile (COM624 is downloadable from HFWA). AllPile is also comparable with Lpile ( Ensoft Inc.). In our tests, AllPile generated the same results as Lpile.
KEY FEATURES
Smart Data Find Users only need to select N-value (SPT) from a sliding bar. The program then automatically searches into its database to find the other soil parameters that are necessary for the analysis, such as friction, cohesion, density, subgrade reaction coefficient, and P-y parameters. For users with limited field data, they can just input SPT or any one of the parameters and let the program find the remaining data. Interactive Input The graphical interface changes simultaneously with the inputs to illustrate the pile profile. Pile head and load are graphically presented to help users to input data quickly and accurately. Vertical Capacity The program evaluates the uplift and compression capacity of the pile. Settlement The program calculates pile settlement at design load based on the values of point load, skin friction, and shaft compression. Point of Fixity and Stiffness AllPile determines the Point of Fixity and Stiffness of the pile. Lateral Capacity AllPile performs lateral analysis under different head-load boundary conditions. Deflection, moment, and shear along the entire length of the pile are presented graphically in the report.
Group Piles Analysis Both vertical and lateral analyses handle group piles. The loads can be vertical, compression, uplift, shear, moment, and torsion. The program calculates lateral movement, rotation, and settlement of the pile cap. Batter Piles and Sloped Ground The program can handle batter piles and sloped ground. Seismic and Static Conditions Circular and static load conditions can be selected in the lateral analysis. Negative Friction The program computes the downdrag force formed by settlement of soft layers. Zero Friction AllPile handles no-friction sections of the pile, such as tieback free bond length. Section Calculation The program calculates the section properties for reinforced or hollow piles. It has a built-in database for all available W and H steel piles. Graphical Presentation AllPile presents the results using high quality graphics, which can be inserted directly into a report. Users can customize the format of the report. Export to EXCEL AllPile results can be exported to MS-EXCEL graphics and reports by a few mouse clicks. Users can modify the reports and graphics easily. English and Metric Units The program accommodates both English and metric units. More Features Are Coming CivilTech will continue to add new features and improve the program in response to users' comments and recommendations.
Graphical Presentations
AllPile uses many graphical presentations to help users understand the program. AllPile provides 30 samples/templates to help users easily and quickly create new projects. AllPile handles a variety of pile types including uplift anchors, uplift plate, and shallow footing.
