Engineering Masterclass Webinar: Advancing your Foundation Design With DeepFND
In this webinar, we will share how you can advance your foundation design work with DeepFND, the solution for lateral and vertical analysis of helical and non-helical foundation piles from Deep Excavation LLC. You will learn:
#1. The fundamental concept of deep foundation design, which related to both geotechnical and structural aspects.
#2. How you can design any shape of pile cap with flexible pile arrangements.
#3. How to accurately model the soil profile that will interact with the piles.
#4. How to design the pile raft effectively, which covers both vertical and lateral capacity.
Why Choose DeepFND?
DeepFND can do structural and geotechnical design of drilled piles, driven piles, caissons, micropiles, CFA piles, Drilled-in-displacement piles and helical piles. User can define easily the pile type, the pile section and the reinforcement. The software does full lateral and vertical pile analysis and calculates the required embedment length. DeepFND can design both Single Piles and Pile Groups.
Main Technical Capabilities:
Single Pile & Pile Groups
| DeepFND can design both Single Piles of any shape and installation type, and Pile Groups with multiple piles (the additional optional module Pile Groups is required).The software can also design Pile Rafts, considering the combined effect of the soil below the raft (additional module to our Pile Group option). | |

Multiple Pile Installation Methods
| DeepFND implements all approved scientific methods for the design of deep foundation piles. With DeepFND we can design drilled piles, driven piles, CFA piles,caissons, drilled-in-displacement piles, micropiles and helical piles. | |

Vertical and Lateral Pile Analysis
DeepFND can perform both vertical and lateral pile analysis. The software has implemented several bearing capacity equations, depended on the selected pile installation method. For non-helical piles, DeepFND has implemented all the pile installation standards (FHWA FEC-8 and 10, AASHTO Norlund, IBC 2015, NYC Building Code, AASHTO LRFD and more). For helical piles the software uses both the individual plate and the cylinder methods, reporting the most critical. The general and the Helicap equations can be selected. For the vertical pile design, we can select to use either the Vesic, or the Meyerhoff-Hansen method. DeepFND calculates and checks the helical pile installation torque. For the lateral pile analysis, DeepFND can use either the defined load on the pile head and calculate the developed moment, shear and pile displacement diagrams, or it can perform a pushover analysis, calculating and presenting the required lateral load to achieve a specified pile head displacement. DeepFND can perform settlement analysis. In the software we can select one of the implemented pile acceptance criteria, or define our own.
Soil Properties | SPT Records | CPT Logs
| The soil types, soil properties and stratigraphies can be easily defined in DeepFND through user-friendly dialogs.In DeepFND we can create an unlimited list of soils and define all soil properties quickly. The software provides several estimation tools (SPT Estimator and partial estimation tools for each property using scientific methods and equations).In DeepFND we can add directly SPT Records and CPT Logs, which can be used from the software to estimate various soil properties. | |
