Conventional theories

The conventional theories assumes that the pile total compressive resistance Rc is derived as a sum of the pile base resistance Rb and the pile shaft resistance Rs (developed due to friction of the surrounding soil along the shaft). The following generally accepted methods are implemented into the program:

- NAVFAC DM 7.2

- Tomlinson

- Effective stress method 

- CSN 73 1002

For the above specified methods it is possible to choose one of the following verification methodologies:

- classical way

- EN 1997-1

When running the compression pile analysis, the pile self-weight is introduced depending on the setting in the frame "Load". As for the tensile pile, the pile self-weight is always taken into account automatically. Based on the inputted load the program itself performs the verification analysis for either compression or tensile pile.
