Piles Capacity 3.2.2

Mobile Design Tool for Cast-in-Place Bored Piles

Piles Capacity features a contemporary interface designed to facilitate rapid and straightforward analysis. Its overall approach emphasizes efficiency and user-friendliness.

The tool incorporates an up-to-date estimation engine supported by a clear and concise online reference manual available at http://www.hetge.com/PCref.

• Includes a distinctive soil profile builder, Touch Soil™, which allows users to visually assemble soil layers with intuitive ease.
• Compatible with both Metric (mm, metres, ton, kN, kPa) and Imperial (inch, feet, psi, psf, kips) measurement systems.
• Offers graphical representations of depth against parameters such as frictional resistance, tip capacity, and allowable bearing capacity, with options to adjust tip resistance based on underlying strata.
• Generates comprehensive reports detailing bearing capacities across soil layers, including calculations of average effective stress, skin friction, and tip resistance at the top and bottom of each layer.
• Utilizes advanced soil parameters for more accurate estimations, incorporating data such as SPT values, cohesion increment with depth, rock diameter reduction, and partial safety factors for both skin friction and tip resistance.
