PILE calculates the vertical load carrying capacities of a range of individual piles in a layered
soil deposit. The theory is based on both conventional and new methods for drained
(frictional) and undrained (cohesive) soils.
The main features of Pile are summarised below:
The soil is specified in layers. Each layer is set to be drained(frictional) or undrained(cohesive)
and appropriate strength parameters are specified. Maximum values can be set for ultimate
soil/shaft friction stress and end bearing stress within each layer.
The user has four choices for selecting datum - Depth below ground level, depth below
mud-line, elevation above Ordnance Datum, and finally a user-specified datum.
Porewater pressures within the soil deposit can be set to hydrostatic or piezometric.
The user has the option to calculate the pile capacity for a range of pile depths, for different
cross-section shapes such circular, square and H-section. The circular and square cross-sect
