Q2. What is UniPile?
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.
Q3. What is UniSettle?
An application for the calculation of stress distribution and soil settlement. Stress distribution can be by Boussinesq, Westergaard, and 2:1 methods. Settlement is determined using conventional Cc-e0 approach, E-modulus, or tangent modulus method. Multi-layered soil profile can be entered including pore water gradients. Point, line, circle, triangle, rectangle, and polygon shaped load areas can be used.

Q5. When can we expect new release?
We are in the process of developing major upgrades to our popular UniPile and UniSettle software. The upgrades involve a complete re-design of both applications. They will conform to Microsoft Windows XP and Vista and include several new features and capabilities.
We expect the applications will be available in the Fall of 2009. The upgrades will be 100% backward compatible with older versions. Those now purchasing our current versions (UniPile v.4 and UniSettle v.3) will receive a full credit toward the purchase price of the updated versions when they become available.
