DynaPile v2.0.4


Info:
Program DynaPile was developed to compute the dynamic stiffness of
single piles or pile groups. The piles can be either floating piles or
end-bearing piles. Vertical, horizontal and rocking dynamic stiffnesses
will be generated by the program. The program will also generate the
group reduction factors for pile groups under small excitation
conditions. The method of computation is based on the consistent
boundary-matrix method proposed by Blaney, Kausel and Roesset (1976).

Pile foundations were analyzed for some time neglecting interaction
effects betwwen the piles through the soil and enforcing only
compatibility of displacements at their heads under the assumption of a
rigid mat. The dynamic model, which takes into account the whole soil
medium in the analysis, can conveniently provide information about
group-reduction factors of pile foundations if the soil properties are
adjusted to account for the effective level of strains.

Input parameters consist of the structural and dynamic properties of
the pile, geometric configuration of the pile groups, soil properties,
definition of excitation forces (in frequencies), and definition of
superstructures masses.

LIST OF FEATURES
The program includes the effect from the approximate amount of soil
mass around a pile that participates in the dynamic response (inertial
forces) and in the dissipation of energy (damping).
The program can handle single piles as well as pile groups.
The user can input up to 20 different soil layers.
Unified soil parameters such as shear wave velocity, Poisson's ratio,
mass density, and damping ratio, are employed for soil strata.
The program performs dynamic analysis in frequency domain. The user can
specify up to 100 different frequencies of exciting forces for
analyses.
Superstructure properties can be included in the analysis. The
superstructure properties include options for the mass of the base mat,
the mass of the superstructure, and the horizontal spring stiffness.
The program will generate group reduction factors of vertical response,
horizontal response, and rocking response for pile groups under small
excitation conditions.
The program accepts either floating or end-bearing piles.
The method of computation is based on the consistent boundary-matrix method proposed by Blaney, Kausel and Roesset (1976).
The Graphics menu contains quick observations of results contained in the output file, i.e.:
* Group Factor,
* Rocking Stiffness,
* Vertical Stiffness,
The files of input data and output data are text based and may be
directly accessed from within the Dynapile program, employing the
user's preferred text editor or word processor.
A well-documented manual is provided with relevant theoretical
background. The manual includes a full description of all commands
contained in the program menu, and example problems that are supplied
for reference.
