All-Pile

รายละเอียดของโปรแกรม

All-Pile is a Windows-based analysis program that handles virtually all types of piles, including steel pipes, H-piles, pre-cast concrete piles, auger-cast piles, drilled shafts, timber piles, jetted piles, tapered piles, piers with bell, micropile (minipile), and uplift anchors.

One of the major advantages All-Pile has over other pile software is that it combines most pile analyses in a single program. It calculates compression (with settlement), uplift, and lateral capacity all together. Users only need to input the data once instead several times in different programs. All-Pile makes pile analysis both cost-saving and time-efficient.

All-Pile is suitable for all engineers, even those without too much pile analysis experience. It helps structural engineers choose soil parameters, and geotechnical engineers choose pile properties. All-Pile is a must-have tool for structural, geotechnical, and construction engineers.

• Vertical analysis is based on the approaches and methods recommended in FHWA, AASHTO, and NAVY DM-7 (NAVFAC) manuals. The compression capacity is the combination of skin friction and tip resistance. The uplift capacity is the sum of skin friction and pile weight.
• Lateral analysis directly uses the COM624P program developed by FHWA. It uses the finite-difference method to model soil-structure interaction. All-pile is a pre-process and Windows interface of COM624P. It creates a COM624P input file and calls COM624P internally. COM624P input and output files can be directly viewed and printed. For comparison, you can directly run COM624P yourself using the input files created by All-Pile (COM624P is included in the package). All-Pile is also comparable with Lpile (© Ensoft Inc.). In our tests, All-Pile generated the same results as Lpile.

• Smart Data Find – Users only need to select N-value (SPT) from a sliding bar. The program then automatically searches into its database to find the other soil parameters that are necessary for the analysis, such as friction, cohesion, density, subgrade reaction coefficient, and P-y parameters. For users with limited field data, they can just input SPT or any one of parameters and let the program to find the remaining data.
• Interactive Input – The graphical interface changes simultaneously with the inputs to illustrate the pile profile. Pile head and load are graphically presented to help users to input data quickly and accurately.
• Vertical Capacity – The program evaluates the uplift and compression capacity of the pile.
• Settlement – The program calculates pile settlement at design load based on the values of point load, skin friction, and shaft compression.
• Point of Fixity and Stiffness – All-Pile determines the Point of Fixity and Stiffness of the pile.
• Lateral Capacity – All-Pile performs lateral analysis under eight head-load boundary conditions. Deflection, moment, and shear along the entire length of the pile are presented graphically in the report.
• Group Piles Analysis –Both vertical and lateral analyses handle group piles.
• Batter Pile and Sloped Ground – The program can handle battered pile and sloped ground.
• Seismic and Static Conditions – Circular and static load conditions can be selected in the lateral analysis.
• Negative Friction – The program computes the downdrag force formed by settlement of soft layers.
• Zero Friction – All-Pile handles no-friction sections of the pile, such as tieback free bond length.
• Section Calculation – The program calculates the section properties for reinforced or hollow piles. It has a built-in database for all available W and H steel piles.
• Graphical Presentation – All-Pile presents the results using high quality graphics, which can be inserted directly into the report. Users can customize format of a report.
• Export to EXCEL – All-Pile results can be exported to MS-EXCEL graphics and reports by a few mouse clicks. So users can modify the reports and graphics easiely.
• English and Metric Units – The program accommodates both English and metric units.
• More Features Are Coming – CivilTech will continue to add new features and improve the program in response to users' comments and recommendations.
