NHERI-SimCenter/PileGroupTool: Version 2.1
- 1. University of Washington
- 2. UC Berkeley
Description
The official tool homepage for the PileGroupTool is here
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 a scaling bug where parameters were inaccessible on smaller displays
- Fixes an update bug when forces or applied displacements were changed using the up/down arrows in DoubleSpinBoxes
- Adds axis labels and units to the result plots
- Removes the "hints" section to better work on smaller displays
- adds a Quick Tips section and pop-up to the Help menu. This replaces and expands the removed hints section
- minor updates to the UI
- some minor performance updates internally.
