The program is a practical design tool for engineers, allowing them to explore the effects of changing construction stages with ease. Including concrete contiguous bored piles, diaphragm walls, cofferdams, tied walls and king pile walls, the program is truly comprehensive. The software draws upon extensive industry experience with some of the UK’s largest civil engineering contractors. CADS Piled Wall Suite has been calibrated against some 90 published examples to validate its output. CADS Piled Wall Suite has been written for ease of use, whilst offering the advanced and knowledgeable user full access to the underlying analysis options.
- Includes analysis and design for sheet piles, king piles, contiguous and secant bored piles and diaphragm walls
