Pile
Analysis of behaviour to inform the design of vertically loaded piles.
What is Pile
Pile analysis and foundation design
Oasys Pile enables analysis of individual piled foundations. The theory in Pile is based on both conventional and new methods for drained (frictional) and undrained (cohesive) soils. By inputting ground conditions and pile parameters, users calculate pile capacity and settlement outputs for single or multiple loading stages. This can be used to inform the design options for pile foundations. Different pile cross sections and material types can be assessed to multiple design codes.
Structural and geotechnical engineers collaborate using an iterative workflow by combining outputs from Pile with Oasys Alp for specified capacity and settlement calculations that are used as inputs in Oasys AdSec to inform pile cross section characteristics.
Core capabilities
Capacity and settlement calculations
Calculate the vertical load-carrying capacities and vertical settlements of a range of individual piles in a layered soil deposit for both skin friction and end bearing computations.
Established methods
Settlements are calculated for solid circular and square sections without under-ream, tapered sections with under-ream, H-Piles and varying sections along its depth using the Mindlin method or t-z curves.
Code-compliant concrete design
Model concrete pile sections to a range of design codes including European, Indian, British and American standards amongst others.
Automation ready
Use Pile in automation workflows using the COM interface and JSON file format.
Why choose Pile
Trusted by civil and geotechnical engineers for everyday foundation design.
Pile offers a solution for complex calculations beyond the scope of conventional spreadsheets. Its validated and robust calculation methods, combined with an intuitive user interface, streamline the analysis and design of piled foundations.
