Version 4: Analysis and design of elastically bedded piles

Elastically bedded piles
Analysis and design of elastically bedded pilesn.

Capabilities:

  • Consideration of linearly variable modulus of subgrade reaction
  • System input using absolute heights
  • Both the global safety factor concept to DIN 1054 old) and the new partial safety factor concept to DIN 1054 (new) are supported
  • Consideration of active and passive berms
  • Consideration of active and passive
    bounded surcharges
  • Analysis using active earth pressure,
    at-rest earth pressure and increased active earth pressure
  • Active earth pressure coefficients to
    DIN 4085 or user-defined values
  • Passive earth pressure coefficients to
    DIN 4085 (new), Streck, Caquot/Kerisel, DIN 4085 (old) or user-defined value
  • Three-dimensional passive earth pressure to DIN 4085:2011-05, Weißenbach or DIN 4085 (old)
  • Pile length optimisation
  • Automatic computation of second moment of area for square and bored piles
  • Pile and reinforcement design compliant with DIN 1045 and DIN 18800
  • Expandable database for steel sections and pipe section
  • Choice of result presentation for moments, shear force, axial force, displacement or earth pressure
  • Consideration of seismic loads
  • Reinforced concrete design compliant with DIN 1045

 

  • Crack width analysis compliant with
    DIN 1045
  • Buckling analysis to DIN EN 1993-1-1 using 2nd order theory
