Pile Capacity Analyzer Skill

Purpose

The Pile Capacity Analyzer Skill determines axial and lateral capacity of deep foundations including driven piles and drilled shafts using FHWA and other established methods.

Capabilities

Driven pile capacity (alpha, beta methods)
Drilled shaft capacity (FHWA methods)
Pile group efficiency
Lateral pile analysis (p-y curves)
Pile driving analysis (wave equation)
LRFD resistance factors
Uplift capacity
Settlement of pile groups

Usage Guidelines

When to Use

Designing deep foundations
Analyzing pile group behavior
Evaluating lateral capacity
Predicting pile driving

Prerequisites

Soil borings available
Pile type and size selected
Load requirements defined
Installation method determined

Best Practices

Use appropriate method for soil type
Consider setup and relaxation
Apply LRFD resistance factors
Plan for verification testing

Process Integration

This skill integrates with:
