Lateral pile analysis options in HelixPile
The response of helical piles needs to be evaluated for lateral as well as vertical loading. HelixPile now includes lateral pile analysis capabilities, that include:
- Free head or fixed head condition - Sand API or Sand Reese lateral soil springs - Reese Soft clay model - Reese silt models - Weak rock model - Non linear steel and grout models - PY multipliers to account for group or installation effects - Inclined ground surface - Irregular ground surface - Lateral and moment loads - Stiff clay with free water - Stiff clay without free water - Cyclic loading - Battered piles - Pushover analysis
Sample lateral pile analysis results for helical piles with HelixPile:
Lateral pile analysis for a large diameter helical pile, showing displacements and bending moments
Helical pile lateral load analysis showing the design bending capacity of the helical pile
