Pile Section: Opens the Steel Section Database, allowing the selection of common pile sections.

 

Pile Spacing, ft: Center to center spacing of piles, typically 6 ft to 10 ft.

 

Pile is encased in concrete: Select whether the steel pile is driven into the soil or placed into a drilled hole and encased in lean concrete.

 

Pile Flange Width / Diameter of Encasement, in: If the pile is driven, enter the flange width.  If the pile is set in lean concrete in a drilled hole, enter the hole diameter.

 

Multiplier to Passive Wedge: This is an arching factor.  It takes the form of a multiplier from 1.0 to 3.0 to be applied to the pile flange width or drilled hole diameter due to wedging action and is usually provided by the geotechnical engineer.

 

Total Pile Embedment, ft: Actual embedment, usually rounded from the required embedment reported below.

 

Pile Yield Stress, Fy:Yield stress of the selected pile section.

 

Unbraced Length for Soldier Pile:Allows the  user to specify the unbraced length for steel design purposes.  This is a conditional input.

 

If the pile is not tied back, the user can select:

Consider pile unbraced for lateral torsional buckling

Consider pile fully-braced for lateral torsional buckling

 

If the pile is tied back, the user can select:

Consider pile unbraced for lateral torsional buckling

Consider pile to be braced at tieback locations

Consider pile fully-braced for lateral torsional buckling

 

Use Lagging: Check this box if lagging is to be considered between piles.

 

Lagging Depth, ft: Depth below grade at which lagging pressure is to be calculated based on the active soil pressure.  

 

Lagging Pressure @ Depth, psf: Pressure used in the design of horizontal wood lagging between piles.

 

Lagging Moment @ Depth, ft-lbs: Moment computed assuming arching action and using moment = 0.8 * wl2/8.

 

Lagging Shear @ Depth, lb/vertical ft: Shear computed using wl/2 where w is the Lagging Pressure @ Depth determined above.

 

Lagging selection: Wood lagging selection, such as 4 in x 12 in.  No design is performed based on this entry, but it is printed in the calculation report for documentation purposes.
