GEO5 Pile CPT

The program verifies the bearing capacity and settlement of either an isolated pile or a group of piles based on the results provided by static penetration tests (CPT). Main features of GEO5 Pile CPT program are:

• Analysis of the end-bearing capacity and frictional resistance of piles using the following standards and methods:
  • EN 1997-3
  • NEN 6743
  • LCPC (Bustamante)
  • Schmertmann
• Circular or rectangular pile cross-section (with the option of base enlargement)
• Takes account of pile and installation technology
• Automatic calculation of adjusted bearing capacity and skin friction coefficients depending on the selected analysis method
• Loading due to normal force and surcharge
• Built-in database of soils
• General layered subsoil
• Import CPT tests in TXT format, gINT format or NEN standard
• Verification based on the theory of limit states or factor of safety
• Calculation of the limit load curve and pile settlement for a given loading
• Accounts for negative skin friction
