Books; Coduto, Bowles, Das, Federal highway, among others
Software; Shaft from Ensoft is the one I used, but there are plenty of them

FHWA will hopefully be issuing design guidance for ACIP piles this year. In the meanwhile, I suggest you review design guidance from the Deep Foundations Institute or Association of Drilled Shaft Contractors. Both organizations sell publications related to this foundation type.
Note that while Gimbli is correct that the design methodology is similar to the design of drilled shaft foundations, there are enough wrinkles that you will probably want to review the available information written specifically for ACIP piles.
