Design and Construction of Auger-Cast Piles in Florida
Author: McVay, M. Dr. ; Armaghani, B; Casper, R, University of Florida 1994

Transportation Research Board publication #1447 Discussed is the construction of augered cast-in- place piles, including equipment selection, drilling rate, grout fluidity, grout's aggregate size, grout pumping, and auger removal. Also presented is a comparison between a data base of 21 pile load tests from Florida and five design methods. Availability: http://nationalacademies.org/trb/bookstore

The posting of these programs is not to be interpreted as an endorsement. Some of the programs were developed by the Drilled Shaft Industry however because of the similarity to ACIP Piles they may be adaptive.

AUGER Category : Piles (single)Platform : Win3x Status : Commercial
Description : AUGER is a program to estimate pile lengths and capacities using "N" values (standard penetration tests) and soil factors. Explained in the book "Pile Design and Installation Using Ultimate Design Methods".
Cost : US Dollars 100 Supplier in USA : Steding Publications

Augerdia
Category : Piles (single) Platform : Win3x Status : Commercial
Description : augerdia is a program to assist in selecting an auger cast in place pile diameter or pile capacity for a given pile diameter. Explained in the book "Pile Design and Installation Using Ultimate Design Methods".
Cost : US Dollars 100 Supplier in USA : Steding Publications

SHAFTUF
Category : Piles (single) Platform : DOS Status : Commercial
Description : SHAFTUF is a program for estimating the axial load capacity of drilled shafts using the FHWA method, with modifications to allow the evaluation of drilled shafts toed in to rock. Data can be coded interactively or by reading previously created data files.
Cost : US Dollars 200 Supplier in USA : McTrans Center

LPILE Plus for Windows
Category : Piles (lateral loading and groups) Platform : Win3x, Win95/98, WinNT Status : Commercial
Description : LPILE Plus analyses a pile under lateral loading. The program computes deflection, shear, bending moment, and soil response with respect to depth in nonlinear soils.
Cost : US Dollars 800 Supplier in USA : Ensoft Inc

TZPILE for Windows
Category : Piles (single) Platform : Win3x, Win95/98 Status : Commercial
Description : TZPILE for Windows implements the t-z method of soil-structure interaction, where t-z curves are used for side resistance and q-w curves are used for load transfer in end bearing. In addition, the graphics module can plot any of the generated t-z curves or the q-w curve.
Cost : US Dollars 450 Supplier in USA : Ensoft Inc

Florida Pier
Category : Piles (lateral loading and groups) Platform : DOS, Win3x, Win95/98, Status : Shareware
Description : Florida Pier was developed by the University of Florida, Department of Civil Engineering in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Structures Division. The program was developed in order to give pier designers a comprehensive model development and analysis tool so that they could optimize their pier designs..
Cost : US Dollars 50 Supplier in USA : Florida Department of Transportation
