| Program description: |
ALP analyses the soil structure interaction of a laterally loaded pile. The program represents
the pile as a series of elastic beam elements and the soil as a series of independent springs.
Maximum earth pressure coefficients may be specified to model soil shear failure. Alternatively
non-linear soil behaviour can be modelled as p-y curves which are generated or specified.
The program calculates deflection down the pile together with bending moments and shear
forces within the pile.
Program features include:
the pile as a series of elastic beam elements and the soil as a series of independent springs.
Maximum earth pressure coefficients may be specified to model soil shear failure. Alternatively
non-linear soil behaviour can be modelled as p-y curves which are generated or specified.
The program calculates deflection down the pile together with bending moments and shear
forces within the pile.
Program features include:
- soil properties can vary with depth
- water pressures may be either hydrostatic or piezometric
- lateral loads or bending moments can be applied at any location down the pile
- partial or full, lateral or bending moment restraint can be placed at any depth down the
pile - the top of the pile can be above ground level
- uniformly distributed surcharges can be placed at any depth
- displacements can be imposed in the body of soil surrounding the pile.
