PileCalc is a browser-based geotechnical engineering application for deep-foundation analysis. It includes laterally loaded pile analysis using the FHWA COM624P p-y method, axial pile capacity and settlement, pile groups, drilled shafts, shallow footings, uplift, moment-curvature, and slope-stabilization tools.
The software is intended for civil/geotechnical engineers who need an online alternative to desktop pile-analysis tools such as LPILE, CivilTech AllPile, and Rocscience RSPile. It runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chromebook with no installation or dongle required.
The desktop incumbents split this across four separate programs. PileCalc puts it in one place — every method documented, every assumption visible. Built on the methods the profession already trusts : FHWA COM624, PReese p-y, NAVFAC DM-7.02, FHWA-IF-99-025, API RP-2A, Vesić (1977)
Deep-foundation toolbox
- Laterally loaded piles: Deflection, slope, moment, shear and soil reaction by the p-y finite-difference method. Five head conditions, static or cyclic, layered soil, ground slope, varying EI.
- Axial capacity & settlement: Downward and uplift capacity, downdrag, limiting depth, Vesić settlement, and the full t-z / q-w load–settlement curve.
- Pile groups: Vertical block efficiency and settlement; lateral row-by-row p-multiplier shadowing for closely spaced piles.
- Drilled shafts: α / β / rock side resistance, clay / sand / rock tip bearing, exclusion zones, and belled-base uplift.
- Shallow footings: General bearing equation with shape, depth, inclination, slope and batter factors; eccentricity, elastic settlement, sliding and rotation.
- Uplift plates & anchors: Shallow and deep breakout in sand and clay, plus grouted-anchor adhesion capacity.
- Moment–curvature: M–φ and nonlinear EI for solid-circular, pipe and rectangular steel sections by fiber integration — feeds cracked-section lateral runs.
- Slope stabilization: Pile resistance versus sliding depth from an imposed soil displacement, resolved into lateral and axial components.
