UniPile 4.0
An application for the design of piles and pile groups according to the Fellenius Unified Method. UniPile considers bearing capacity, pile group settlement, negative skin friction, and drag load. Aspects of drivability and residual stress are also included. It can also simulates the load-movement behaviour of the pile in a static loading test.
UniPile offers many features and advantages:
- Analysis can be by the beta (effective stress), the alpha (total stress), or even the lambda method. The methods can be combined in up to 20 soil layers with the soil strength parameters, soil compressibility, as well as pore pressures varying within each layer.
- Perform calculations in either English or SI-units and convert from one to the other and back again with one simple keystroke.
- Analyze piles of all types and sizes; driven piles and drilled-shafts, single or in group.
- Analyze piles of all shapes; square, rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal, round, or H-section.
- Analyze tapered piles; step-tapered, uniform tapered, mono-tubes, and underreamed piles.
- Determine the effect of capacity variation between piles in a group.
- Analyze the settlement of a pile group and the surrounding area simultaneously using the conventional cc-e0 approach, the E-modulus, or the tangent modulus method for each individual soil layer.
- Determine the distribution of residual load and how it would affect measured loads.
- Simulate a static loading test with input of t-z curves for each separate soil layer. The simulation uses the calculated shaft and toe capacities and is useful when calibrating the analysis to the results of a static loading test and when designing for deformations under the pile loads.
- Produce the capacity and distribution of shaft and toe resistances in a table format compatible with the GRLWEAP input at both initial driving and at restriking. At both initial installation and after set-up.
- Print the results in tables (hard copy or to files) that are easy to understand and ready for insertion in an engineering report.
