What is the best software for pile design with low loads
What is the best software for pile design with low loads
(OP)
I'm a structural engineer who will be designing piles to support solar panels. They have low vertical loads and low lateral loads. What is the best software for this? I've seen LPILE but isn't easy to use. ALLPILE claims they use the same approach (COM64) for lateral design as LPILE. Does anyone have any recommendations, maybe there is better software?

Take a look at this DOT sign design manual for ideas. Other public agencies probably also have good information. Anchors in soil also may be required, such as those used by power distribution companies.
