Description LPILE Plus is a program for the analysis of piles and drilled shafts under lateral loads. The program computes deflection, shear, bending moment, and soil response with respect to depth in non-linear soils. Components of the stiffness matrix at the pile head may be computed to help the users in their super-structure analysis. Several pile lengths may be automatically checked in order to produce a design with an optimum pile penetration. Soil behaviour is modelled with p-y curves 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. It has capabilities to compute the ultimate-moment capacity of a pile's section and can provide design information for rebar arrangement. The user may optionally ask the program to generate and take into account non-linear values of flexural stiffness (EI) which are generated internally based on specified pile dimensions, material properties, and cracked/uncracked concrete behaviour. It produces plain-text input and output files that may be observed and/or edited for their inclusion in project reports. Free demonstration version available on WWW.
