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:
- soil structure (up to 3 layers of variable thickness) and soil properties
- position of the ground water table
- pile stiffness, embedment length, connection type to the pile cap
- number of piles in the group (one to three piles)
- the applied horizontal force at the pile cap (push-over analysis)
Presented results include:
- lateral displacement of all piles
- moment and shear diagrams for each
- vertical soil stresses
- ultimate strength and stiffness parameters for the employed p-y springs
New in this release:
- fixes an issue opening model files created by the latest release
The SimCenter is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (#1612843)
