pile cap program
hello
  i am looking for a good pile cap anlaysis design program that could analyze pile group with flexibility in load application, i.e., multiple point loads, etc.
  i would really appreciate it if you could give me some advices on which program out there is good.
  thank you in advance
check with ensoft in austin, texas.  best software available for evaluating the effects of lateral loads on piles and pile groups.
try new staad.foundation from rei (
i have been using a pile cap program that was put our by eagle point. i believe digital canal software is handling this software these days. try them on their web site
thank you guys
but, i have tgpiles, and it is very handy.
however, when it comes to analyais and design of pile caps under s shear wall core, it becomes not realistic.
what i have been doing is calculate the centroid of loading of the four corners of the shear wall core, and apply the moment, force in tgpile, and design/analyze.  however, this is not the case in realistic, the pile cap is not 100% rigid as it is in tgpiles, and i modeled the cap with 60" thickness in adapt, it appears that the "local effect" of the line load (wall load) is stronger and the cap with 60" is relatively regid compared to that.
so, i am looking for a pile cap program that could allow me to anlayze/design cap with arbitary line loads, point loads, etc.
please help.
thanks
