Sol-load Reviews & Product Details

Sol-load computes the axial capacity and the load-settlement response of a single pile in layered soil. Static capacity methods (API, USACE, FHWA Nordlund and Tomlinson, Revised Lambda) and the CPT-based NGI, ICP, UWA and Fugro methods give nominal, ASD or LRFD capacity in compression or uplift. A nonlinear t-z / Q-w load-transfer analysis, with curves generated from the soil or entered by the user, gives the load-settlement curve and the axial force along the pile for driven piles and drilled shafts. It also covers downdrag and the neutral plane, CPT import and interpretation, and comparison with load-test data, with reports in PDF, Word and Excel in SI or US units. Windows desktop application with a free 7-day trial.
