<p>The SimCenter Pile-Group Tool provides a dynamic interface to study the behavior of a pile or pile-group in layered soil. It allows the user to interactively (and nearly instantly) observe the system's response to changes of the following parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>soil structure (up to 3 layers of variable thickness) and soil properties</li>
<li>position of the ground water table</li>
<li>pile stiffness, embedment length, connection type to the pile cap</li>
<li>number of piles in the group (one to three piles)</li>
<li>the applied horizontal force at the pile cap (push-over analysis)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Presented results include</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>lateral displacement of all piles</li>
<li>moment and shear diagrams for each</li>
<li>vertical soil stresses</li>
<li>ultimate strength and stiffness parameters for the employed <em>p-y</em> springs</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>New in this release</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>fixes an issue opening model files created by the latest release</li>
</ul>
The SimCenter is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (#1612843)
