GeoPile© – LRFD Drilled Shaft

GeoPile© is a software specially designed and developed for Geotechnical Engineers to calculate vertical pile capacities in accordance with AASHTO LRFD design methods. Currently it calculates vertical resistance of Drilled Shaft in accordance with AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications – 8th Edition and California Amendments to AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications – 8th Edition. Driven pile and micro pile will be added.

GeoPile© is specially designed for being included in the Geotechnical Engineering Report with its neat output. It uses the soil profile created in GeoSuite©. It will calculate shaft length of single and group pile length of various diameters for Strength Limit and Extreme Limit conditions. Group reduction factor is automatically considered based on group pile layout. GeoPile© has following functions:

  1. Drilled shaft resistance based on AASHTO LRFD.
  2. Driven Pile and micropile (under developing).
  3. Detailed soil profile from GeoSuite©.
  4. Strength and Extreme limits.
  5. User defined shaft diameter range.
  6. Group reduction for compression and uplift.
  7. Pile head below excavation or within embankment (under developing).
  8. Permanent casing.
