Geotechnical forum has been designed to provide a useful online discussion platform for the application of PileAXL, PileLAT, PileGroup and PileROC programs in the field of geotechnical engineering.

The individual pile position and length for each pile within the pile group can be entered in PileGroup program through the dialog as shown in the following figure. The above dialog enables the user

Nonlinear t-z load transfer curves adopted in PileAXL program have been summarized and shown in the table below.

Various pile top boundary conditions are available in PileLAT and the users can access those options from the dialog at the left side of the main program interface as shown in the figure below. Th

Both driven and bored piles are supported by PileLAT program and the following cross section types can be used in the analysis of single piles under lateral loading: Driven Piles: · Circular Secti

Nonlinear t-z curves for driven piles into sand can be based on the recommendation from Mosher (1984) where a hyperbolic representation of t-z curve was proposed. The initial slope Kf of the curve is

Various p-y curves are implemented in PileLAT to analyze the pile behvaiour under the lateral loading. Typical p-y curve plots are shown in the figure below.
