Lateral Loading에 대한 Pile및 Drilled Shaft에 대한 해석 프로그램 LPILE Plus 5 for Windows A Program for the Analysis of Piles and Drilled Shafts Under Lateral Loads GENERAL DESCRIPTION LPILE Plus is a special purpose program based on rational procedures for analyzing a pile under lateral loading. The program computes deflection, shear, bending moment, and soil response with respect to depth in nonlinear soils. Components of the stiffness matrix at the pile head may be computed internally by the program to help the users in their super-structure analysis. Several pile lengths may be automatically checked by the program in order to help the user produce a design with an optimum pile penetration. Soil behavior is modeled with p-y curves internally generated by the computer program following published recommendations for various types of soils; alternatively, the user can manually introduce other p-y curves. Special procedures are programmed for developing p-y curves for layered soils and for rocks. Several types of pile-head boundary conditions may be selected, and the properties of the pile can also vary as a function of depth. LPILE Plus has capabilities to compute the ultimate-moment capacity of a piles section and can provide design information for rebar arrangement. The user may optionally ask the program to generate and take into account nonlinear values of flexural stiffness (EI) which are generated internally based on specified pile dimensions, material properties, and cracked/uncracked concrete behavior. A single, user-friendly interface written for the Microsoft Windows?sub> environment is provided for the preparation of input, analytical run, and for the graphical observation of data contained in the output file. The program has been written in 32-bit programming codes for compatibility with the latestest versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. The program produces plain-text input and output files that may be observed and/or edited for their inclusion in project reports.
