Apile
APILE is used to compute the axial capacity, as a function of depth, of a driven pile in clay, sand, r
mixed-soil profiles. Following methods are used for computations of pile capacity:
- American Petroleum Institute (API RP-2A)
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
- U.S. Federal Highway Administration
Lpile
LPILE is a special-purpose program for analyzing a single pile (or drilled shaft) under lateral loading using the p-y method.
LPILE solves the differential equation for a beam column using nonlinear lateral load-transfer (p-y) curves. The program computes lateral deflection, bending moment, shear force, and soil response over the length of the pile.
