Pile and Micropile – MP

Pile and micropile software is intended to calculate the bearing capacity of the foundation terrain of a pile or micropile in whatever load distribution (moment, normal force, shear).

The worksheet, which shows the plan of piles or micro piles inserted in the foundation terrain, may be dimensioned as required.

Geometric characteristics of the paling and the elements connected thereto (loads, location of trial sounding/boring and seismic stress) together with the geotechnical parameters of the terrain may be entered and altered within the worksheet, activating the available functions either in the drop-down menus, relocatable toolbars or through hotkeys.

PILE TYPES

• • Driven and bored;
  • Summit-linked or independent piles;
  • Calculation of conical trunk piles;
  • Calculation of marginal point load according to Berezantzev, Hansen, Janbu, Vesic, Terzaghi;
