PileSuite - The Modeling Software for Deep Foundation Analysis and Design Solutions.
PileSuite is a powerful and integrated software suite for deep foundation analysis and design, supporting both onshore and offshore projects. It comprises four specialised modules covering nonlinear pile group analysis under general loading, laterally loaded single piles, axially loaded single piles, and rock-socketed pile design.
Why choose PileSuite?
Integrated Deep Foundation Analysis and Design Software Suite
The combined software suite provides an integrated program interface which allows the users to undertake comprehensive analyses for various deep foundation design problems, such as Nonlinear Pile Group under General Loading (PileGroup), Laterally Loaded Single Piles (PileLAT), Axially Loaded Single Piles (PileAXL), and Rock Socket (PileROC).
Analysis for Laterally Loaded Single Piles - PileLAT
PileLAT is a finite-element based program that analyzes the behaviour of laterally loaded piles (Single piles mainly under lateral loading) based on automatically generated nonlinear p-y curves for various soil and rock types.
Analysis for Axially Loaded Single Piles - PileAXL
PileAXL is a program that analyzes the behavior of single piles under axial loading applied at the pile head for both onshore and offshore engineering problems. It provides a wide range of analysis methods for determining ultimate shaft and end bearing resistance of both driven and bored piles for cohesive soils, cohesionless soils and rock.
Analysis for Rock Sockets under Axial and Lateral Loadings - PileROC
PileROC is a program specially designed to predict the settlement for the piles socketed into rock under compressive axial loading and estimates ultimate and factored axial capacities for a range of socket lengths. It also provides lateral capacity checking of rock socket under lateral force and bending moment applied at the top.
PileGroup is a finite-element-based analysis program developed to evaluate the deformation behaviour and load distribution of pile groups subjected to general three-dimensional loading conditions. The software can model combined axial loads, lateral forces, and moments applied at the pile cap, providing a robust and efficient solution for complex foundation systems.
The program automatically generates nonlinear soil–structure interaction models, including p–y curves for lateral loading, t–z and q–z curves for axial loading, and t–θ curves for torsional loading, for both soils and rocks. Each pile is analysed under six load components (forces and moments) using an enhanced iterative solution scheme that enforces equilibrium and compatibility.
This iterative formulation ensures full consistency between pile-head displacements, internal forces, and soil reactions, achieving force equilibrium and geometric compatibility between applied external loads and the responses of individual piles within the group.
