SPILE: A MICROCOMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETERMINING ULTIMATE VERTICAL STATIC PILE CAPACITY. USER'S MANUAL
TL;DRAbstract
The objective of this report is to introduce a microcomputer program for determining the Ultimate Vertical Static Capacity of piles in cohesive and cohesionless soils. The program follows the methods and equations presented by Nordlund (1963, 1979), Thurman (1964), Meyerhof (1976), Cheney and Chassie (1982), Tomlinson (1979, 1985), and the FHWA Pile Manual. The report presents the equations, analytical procedures and empirical curves utilized by the program, and examples of the user friendly data entry form capabilities. The computer program is coded in Turbo Pascal 5.0 language and takes full advantage of the stand alone (single-user) characteristics of the IBM-PC through the use of friendly input menus and data-checking routines. The code implements copyrighted portions of the microcomputer programs SAF-I and SAF-TR, developed by PROTOTYPE Engineering, Inc., Winchester, Massachusetts, and uses the screen editor Turbo Magic from Sophisticated Software.
