Poor soil conditions, large horizontal forces, expansive soil, and potential uplifting forces are all design scenarios that may require deep foundation analysis and design. This pile foundation design webinar demonstrates how to accurately model, analyze, and design a deep foundation while considering geotechnical data to achieve reliable design results.
Our example consists of a pile foundation subject to compression loads, shear forces, and bending moments due to the eccentricity of the applied loading at the top of the pile. We demonstrate how to:
- Define pile geometry
- Create ground springs – both linear springs or automatically generated non-linear springs using P-Y, Q-Z, and T-Z curves
- Apply loads
- Perform an analysis and design code assessment in S-FOUNDATION
- Show the equivalent manual calculations
- Review and compare results
