Dear colleges

About the Allpile program, I wonder if someone knows the criteria (author) used in order to evaluate the bearing capacity for drilled shafts in rocks. Unfortunately the available manual does not have an updated version. The program measures the bearing capacity from an initial selection of the RQD value (poor, fair and good) then you select the rock type from a 10 options menu; the program propose some strength parameters (cohesion an internal friction angle) that can be adjusted. Finally, the program select bearing capacity factors (Nc and/or Nq) to obtain the ultimate base and side resistance. The Civil Tech technical support did not give any answer.

I appreciate your response.

RE: About Allpile program

Did tech support not call you back or did they give you a bad answer? Call CivilTech again and send an e-mail requesting a call back. You need to speak with James Su. He is pretty busy and is on the road often.

Civil Tech gave me an obvious answer and showed little interest in the subject.

I appreciate the tip, PEinc.
