Horizontal bearing capacity

The horizontal bearing capacity of a pile is verified in the "Horizontal bearing capacity" frame. Several analyses can be carried out. The verification analysis can be carried out for individual loads, prescribed displacements, or the program finds the most critical load (can be selected from a combo list). Assuming the prescribed displacement type of load requires introduction of boundary conditions in pile head (translation and rotation).

The fixed end type of boundary condition prescribed in the pile heel can be assumed for all types of loading.

For steel reinforced concrete pile the programs allow for verifying the reinforcement based on the standard selected in the frame "Analysis methods".

The combo list serves to specify the direction of pile verification (x,y); for a circular pile the program allows for displaying the results in the most stressed direction.

The "In detail" button opens the dialog window that contains detailed listing of the verification results.

The analysis results are displayed on the desktop. Visualization of results can be adjusted in the "Visualization style settings" dialog window.
