Tapered Piles

PIPE PILE - OPEN END

The following are required for the open-end pipe pile:

• Diameter of Pile - outside diameter
• Shell Thickness - wall thickness

CONCRETE PILE

The input required for a concrete pile is the Side of Square Section.

PIPE PILE CLOSE-ENDED, TIMBER PILE, RAYMOND AND MONOTUBE

The only input required for these cross-sections is the pile diameter

Note:

• Any cross section can be made tapered in the Pile type Editor Except for H-Pile
• Monotubes can be modeled (similar to v3.005) by selecting Pipe Pile – Closed End
• With reference to chart 2.1.1.3, of the theory manual:
• The uniform section of Pile-Pipe closed end will use curve a
• The tapered section of Pile-Pipe closed end will use curve g
• The uniform section of a Raymond pile will use curve d
• The tapered section of a Raymond pile will use curve e
