Is there a 64-bit compatible software that determines ultimate vertical static pile capacity using FHWA methods similar to Driven 1.2? The closed thread, thread274-174559, led me to UniPile which stated that it uses the Fellenuis Unified Method. Are there any others? Thanks in advance.
 
The Florida Department of Transportation and the University of Florida have developed a software called "FB-Deep" that calculates driven pile capacities based on SPT N-values (it can also calculate capacities of drilled shafts.) The software is available from the Bridge Software Institute. It costs $500, but it is well worth it. If you google around you may find the prior version called "SPT97" which is free, and it essentially gives you the same calculated values that FB-Deep does.
