FOREWORD

Analyzing a group of piles that support a cap or a structure in a system


subjected to axial and lateral loading is an important problem in soil-structure
interaction. The piles may be of different sizes and may be installed vertically or
on a batter. The piles are assumed to be far enough apart so that there is no
significant pile-soil-pile interaction or, if the piles are spaced closely together, such
interaction is reflected by an appropriate modification of soil resistance curves.

Computer program GROUP allows the user to analyze the behavior of pile
groups using either a 2-dimensional model or a 3-dimensional model.

The procedures for analyzing a single pile subjected to lateral loading are
included in GROUP and the user should be familiar with that technology. A
complete discussion of the method of analysis of a single pile under lateral loading
is given in the documentation for LPILE, another program distributed by ENSOFT,
Inc.

1.1 General Description

GROUP has been well-received as a useful tool for analyzing the behavior of piles in a group
subjected to both axial and lateral loadings. The program was developed to compute the distribution of
loads (vertical, lateral, and overturning moment) from the pile cap to individual piles in the group.
GROUP v8.0 allows the user to analyze the behavior of pile groups using either a 2-dimensional model
for piles in a symmetric layout or a 3-dimensional model for a group of piles that is not symmetrically
arranged.

The piles may be installed vertically or on a batter, and their heads may be fixed, pinned, or
elastically restrained by the pile cap. The cap is assumed to act as a rigid body, and may settle, translate,
and rotate.

The program will internally generate the nonlinear response of the soil, in the form of t-z and q-
w curves for axial loading, t-r curves for torsional loading, and p-y curves for lateral loading. An iterative
solution accommodates the nonlinear response of each of the piles, and will satisfy the equations of
equilibrium. This achieves compatibility between pile movement and soil response, and between cap
and pile-head movement.

1.2 Program Features and Version History


1.2.1 GROUP 1.0 (1987)

The first version of GROUP internally generated the nonlinear response of the soil in the form of
p-y curves for soft clay, stiff clay with or without free water, and sand. The user was also allowed to
input externally generated p-y curves. The relationship between vertical load and pile settlement (or
uplift) had to be externally specified by the user.

1.2.2 GROUP 2.0 (1990)

The second version of GROUP included a number of additional, user-friendly features. The main
improvements were on the input and graphics modules. The input module introduced the use of pull-
down menus and grid cells for data entry. The graphics module provided enhanced plots for pile
deflection, bending moment, shear, and soil resistance.

A subroutine was added to the main program to allow the implementation of the t-z method to
solve for the settlement (or uplift) of a pile, based on soil properties and pile geometry. The user was

CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1-3

able to specify that the program internally generate the settlement of a pile as a function of axial load
based on nonlinear load transfer in skin friction and end bearing, which in turn may vary as a function of
distance below the ground surface.

1.2.3 GROUP 3.0 (1994)

The third version of GROUP featured more computational options.

 The user was provided with updated technical information on group-reduction factors for piles
under lateral loads. If the user wished to account for pile-soil-pile interaction, the program
could optionally generate p-multipliers to automatically reduce soil resistance.
 The new version provided data for evaluating pile-cap stiffness levels, which are often used in
structural engineering models. Under this new option, the program created curves of
incremental loading versus pile-cap movements and rotations. A conceptual modeling
application for the analysis of the behavior of a bridge is shown in Figure 1.1. With curves
similar to the one shown in Figure 1.1c, the user was able to specify pile-cap stiffness levels
corresponding to a given range of loading for their models of structural analyses.
 GROUP 3.0 could accommodate up to 50 rows of piles in each group analysis, compared to only
20 rows in previous versions of the program.
 Also, the input-editing module was improved to handle more data points and soil layers.
 New example problems were presented, including one for the special case where the pile cap is
installed below the ground surface.

CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1-5

1.2.4 GROUP 4.0 (1996)

The fourth version of GROUP featured a major upgrade for compatibility with new operating-
systems, enhancements in ease of use, and new technical and computational features.

 Standard Windows operations, such as dialog boxes, grid cells, clickable buttons, drop-down list
of options, and pull-down submenus were all incorporated to ease data entry.
 Improved file-management features were included to help the user during program execution.
A standard single-program module was introduced for data input, program execution, graphical
observation of output-data curves, and optional direct viewing of input or output text files.
 The online help file was also enhanced and could be loaded during preparation of input data for
quick consultation of main operational features and basic technical recommendations.
 The graphical observation of output curves featured a new interface that allowed the user to
zoom into areas of particular interest. The user may thus observe the detailed behavioral
measurements of any portion of the depth of each pile group.
 Three additional p-y criteria were added to the previously existing four soil types. New soil
criteria are available for c- soils, the sand model recommended by the American Petroleum
Institute (API), and rock.
 A new option that takes into account the lateral soil resistance against embedded pile caps was
introduced. The theory and specific assumptions utilized for the computation of lateral soil
resistance on embedded pile caps were included in the new Technical Manual.
 The user was also provided with the option to specify a reduction factor on the axial capacity of
closely-spaced piles.

1.2.5 GROUP 5.0 (2000)

The fifth version of GROUP was introduced in October, 2000, and included a new computation
module for 3-dimensional pile-group analyses.

 GROUP v5.0 allowed the user to analyze the behavior of pile groups using either a 2 or 3-
dimensional model. The 2-dimensional model is sufficient and convenient if the piles are
arranged symmetrically to the applied load. Otherwise, a 3-dimensional model is recommended
for analyzing the nonlinear behavior of pile groups.
 GROUP v5.0 solves the nonlinear response of each pile under six components of loadings and
assures compatibility of geometry and equilibrium of forces between the applied external loads
and the reactions of each pile head.
 Torsional resistance curves could be generated by the program.

1.2.6 GROUP 6.0 (2003)

The sixth version of GROUP was introduced in January, 2003. The new features for the sixth
version are summarized below:

 The program allowed for up to 500 piles in a group, and each pile could have different EI values
in orthogonal directions.
 GROUP v6.0 considered the nonlinear bending stiffness (EI) of each pile during computation.
The user can enter nonlinear moment-curvature curves under different axial loads for each pile.
 For closely-spaced piles, the pile-soil-pile interaction can be taken into account by introducing
reduction factors for the p-y curves used for each single pile. These factors were modified based
on a study by Reese and Van Impe (2001).
GROUP v6.0 included advanced 3-dimensional graphics to represent the response of each pile in
the group. The user has options that allow for the display of the deformed/undeformed shape
of pile groups, stress contours, soil layers, and many others.

1.2.7 GROUP 7.0 (2006)

The seventh version of GROUP was introduced in February, 2006. The new features for the
seventh version are summarized below:

 The p-y criteria for liquefiable sand developed by Rollins, et al. (2003), and p-y criteria for stiff
clay with user-specified initial k values, recommended by Brown (2002), were added in Version
7.0.
 The program requires data for unit side friction at the top and bottom of each layer as well as
the unit tip resistance for generating the axial stiffness (axial load-displacement relationship) at
the pile head. Version 7.0 internally provided the estimated unit side friction and tip resistance
based on the strength data of soil layers and commonly accepted empirical equations.
However, the program still allowed those data specified externally for the user to control the
axial capacity of piles based on the local recommendations.
 Version 7.0 generated more types of graphs than previous versions. More importantly, the
program plots the force and displacement on the pile cap, such as the axial force (tension and
compression) of each pile on the pile cap, the lateral forces (shear and moment) of each pile on
the pile cap, and the displacement of the pile cap in different directions.
 The program provided a summary table of output data, which is convenient when the size of the
output file becomes very large due to a large number of piles in the application.
 The program implemented a new algorithm that significantly improved the nonlinear iterations
and accuracy of the solution.

1.2.8 GROUP 8.0 (2010)

This is the eight version of GROUP. The new features are summarized below:

 The program allows for a maximum of 2000 piles in a group.


 A New from Template option has been added, so the program can easily generate basic
rectangular or circular pile group layouts.
 The program includes various additional options for loading.
o The program allows the user to perform analyses under various load cases. Each load
case may be due to concentrated loads at the pile cap and/or distributed lateral loads at
the piles.
o Concentrated loads at the pile cap may be defined for any position; the program will
compute the equivalent concentrated load at the origin for analyses.
o Distributed lateral loads at the piles can be defined relative to the local axes as well as
the global axes. For loads oriented at the global axes in batter piles, the axial
component may be included as a concentrated load at the pile head.
o The program allows the user to perform analyses under various load combinations.
Load combinations are set by load factors applied at the load cases previously defined
by the user.
o Maximum and minimum envelopes may be computed for both load cases and load
combinations.
o The program includes the option to compute both the Flexibility and Stiffness Matrix for
different levels of loading.
 A Cross Section dialog was included to allow the user to define circular, rectangular and I
sections. However, for noncircular sections the equivalent diameter must be defined by the
user.
 The program will be able to transform a 2D pile layout into a 3D layout. The program can also
convert a 3D pile layout into a 2D layout; however, this conversion may not be accurate for non-
symmetrical configurations.
 Inputs for soil properties have been rearranged to allow the user enter the information by soil
type.
 The program allows a mix of input defined curves (p-y curves, axial load-displacement curves
and torque-rotation curves) and automatically generated curves in the same model.
 The program provides a summary table of output data, which includes maximum and minimum
effects for pile heads over the pile length.
 User can select the information to be printed, which is convenient when the size of the output
file becomes very large due to a large number of piles and load cases.

1.2.9 GROUP 2013 (2013)

Group is now released under maintenance contract. All users with active maintenance contracts
can download all program updates and revisions from the Ensoft website (www.ensoftinc.com) without
additional charges. Thus, users are no longer purchasing version updates to the program. Instead, they
are purchasing extensions to their maintenance contracts. This make using traditional version numbers
no longer necessary.

The version numbers now used for GROUP has three parts that indicate the year of the release,
the data file format version number, and the revision number. The meaning of the versions numbers is
described below.

 The first number refers to the year of the program that indicates the features of the program.
 The second number is the data file version number that is changed whenever there is a change
in the data file format.
 The third number indicates the revision number. The revision number is incremented for every
update of the program or documentation.

The new features for release GROUP are summarized below:

 Estimation of a equivalent elastic stiffness matrix.


 Include analysys due to lateral soil movement.
 Include option to define reduction factors for lateral loading along depth.
 Estimate the axial displacement and axial forces along piles. This option is not available when
user defined axial load displacement curve is used.
 Compute the displacements in global directions.
 Option to define a tapered section along depth
 Option to change the modulus of elasticity along depth

1.2.10 GROUP 2014 (2014)

The new features for release GROUP are summarized below:

 Import moment curvature generated for LPILE program.

3.1 Numeric Data Entries

Cells that require numeric data may accept mathematical expressions as entries. Entering a
mathematical expression works similarly to entering normal numeric data—the user simply types the
expression then presses the “Enter” key. The following table shows a list of supported operations and
constants, with the order of operations following the order listed. Implicit multiplications using
constants is not supported (use 2*e instead of 2e). Negation of the constants PI or e is not allowed. For
instance, instead of entering -PI the user must enter -(PI). Scientific notation (i.e. 1.65e8 or 1.65e-8)
may be used to input very large or very small numbers. After an expression is calculated, very large or
very small numbers will be displayed using scientific notation.

3.2.3 File - Open

This is used to open a file that has been previously prepared and saved to disk. The Open File
window dialog, shown in Figure 3.10, is used to search for an existing input data file. The default
directory is the GROUP 2014 install directory. Standard Windows navigation procedures may be used to
locate the name and directory of the desired project file. This menu option may also be accessed with
the [Ctrl]+[O] keyboard combination.

Every analytical run of GROUP 2014 produces several additional files (listed on Table 4.1 of this
manual). The name of the input data file indicates the names of all related files (output, graphics and
processor-text files) produced by a successful program run. All the additional files will be created in the
same directory as the input file.

Opening some partially-completed GROUP 2014 input files or invalid data files may produce an
information window reporting that an "invalid or incomplete" file is being opened. The user should click
the OK button and all partial-input data that was previously prepared should become available.

The program allows users to read input data files created from previous versions of GROUP by
selecting the drop down arrow under the Files of Type option at the bottom of the Open window screen.
The program will automatically convert the open GROUP file to GROUP 9.0 Data when the user saves
the opened file.

Note: For the Torsional Constant (J) the program will assume the value of Polar Moment of Inertia
(Ixx=Iyy+Izz).

Design Parameters

By entering these parameters, GROUP will compute the demand/capacity ratio for bending
moment and shear capacity for the load combinations. This ratio is useful for checking the level of
stresses in the pile. This ratio is not intended to replace a design procedure.

 Bending Moment Capacity. Capacity in bending moment of the cross section.


 Shear Capacity. Capacity in shear of the cross section.

If the capacity values are left as zero, no ratio is computed.

Note about estimation of Total Stress:

The program will output the maximum total normal stress along the pile depth. The total stress is
estimated as the stress at the outer fiber per section. The normal stress includes the contribution due to
the axial force and the contribution due to the bending moment.

For general and circular sections the total stress is computed as:

Mz  My d
2 2
P
 
A 2 Iz

For other sections the total stress is computed as:

P M z wd M y dp
  
A 2 Iz 2 Iy

where:

, is the total stress at specified depth

A, is the area of the cross section

Iz, is the moment of inertia along the z axis

Iy, is the moment of inertia along the y axis (not considered for 2D analysis)

d, is the diameter of the section

wd, is the width of the section

dp, is the depth of the section

P, is the axial force

Mz, is thebending moment along the z axis

My, is thebending moment along the y axis (not considered for 2D analysis)

 Subgroup. This is a sequential number that is provided to each pile subgroup. This number is
automatically assigned by the program as new pile subgroups are added. The maximum
number of pile subgroups that may be used in a group analysis is 2000.
 Pile-Head Connection. Clicking on the selection box provides the user with an option for using
one of three types of pile-head fixities between the pile and the pile-cap (See Figure 3.29) for all
the piles in a particular subgroup (i.e. for each input row):
o Pinned. Provides restraints against translational but not rotational movement.
o Fixed. Provides restraint against all movement.
o Elastically-Restrained. Provides restraint against translational movement but includes a
rotational spring. When the user selects this option as a pile-head fixity, the rotational-
spring stiffness must be entered in the “Rotational Spring” column. This value must be
in units of torque (force times length per unit radian of rotation).
 Number of Pile. Used to assign the number of piles that form each pile subgroup. At least one
pile must be present in each pile subgroup. The maximum number of piles in each subgroup is
limited to 100.
 Pile Prop. Type. Used to assign a number corresponding to the type of pile that forms each pile
subgroup. The type of pile generally changes with variations in cross-sectional dimensions
and/or materials. Only one type of pile may be used in each subgroup. The maximum number
of pile types in a group run is limited to 50. The types of pile properties are defined in
Data→Pile Properties.
 Soil Resistance (p-y) Curve Set. In this column, the user types a number that corresponds to the
set of curves of lateral-load versus deflection that will be used for the piles in each subgroup
row. This number must be an integer and input is limited to a maximum of 50 sets of soil-
resistance curves. The points defining these curves should be specified in the Data→Sets of
Soil-Resistance (p-y) Curves) menu. This column is available if the user selects Options→Enter
User Defined Soil Resistance (p-y) curves. Leave the number as 0 if the user wants to use an
internally generated p-y curve based on the soil layer properties for the current pile. Enter a
negative value if the set is intended to be used only for the layer assigned as a User Defined p-y
curve under the Soil Layer Data.
 Axial Load-Settle. Curve Set. In this column, the user types a number that corresponds to the
set of curves of axial load versus displacement that will be used for the piles of each subgroup
row. This number must be an integer and is limited to a maximum of 50 sets of load-
displacement curves. The points defining these curves should be specified in Data→Sets of
Axial Load-Displacement Curves. This column is available if the user selects Options→Enter
User Defined Load-Displacements curves. Program GROUP 2014 allows internally generated
load-displacement curves to be mixed with external (user-input) curves in different pile
subgroups. Leave the number as 0 if the user wants to use an internally generated load
displacement curve based on the soil layer properties for the current pile.
 Rotational Spring. This input depends on the type of restraint selected for the pile-head
connections to the pile cap in each subgroup. It will only be taken into account if the user
selects an elastically-restrained type of pile-head connection. In all other cases (i.e. fixed and

pinned connections), the values on this column are ignored and may be left as the default of
zero. The values for spring stiffness must be in units of torque (force times length per unit
radian of rotation).
 Pile-to-Pile Space. The values in this column should reflect the common center-to-center
distance between piles of the same subgroup. The program requires that all piles of the same
subgroup are separated by equal distances to their center lines. It is not necessary to specify
the spacing of the piles in the same subgroup if users input their own p-y modification factors or
if the user chooses to ignore group effects.
 P-Multiplier. The p-multiplier values may be larger or smaller than one. However, in most cases
these values are smaller than one to account for the group effect of closely-spaced piles.
Chapter 6 in the Technical Manual, “Reduction Factor for Soil Resistance in a Closely-Spaced Pile
Group,” addresses this issue. This column is available if the user selects the Specify option in
Options→Reduction Factors for Lateral Loads.
 Y-Multiplier. The y-multiplier values may be larger or smaller than one. However, in most cases
these values are larger than one to account for the group effect of closely-spaced piles. Chapter
6 in the Technical Manual, “Reduction Factor for Soil Resistance in a Closely-Spaced Pile Group,”
addresses this issue. This column is available if the user selects the Specify option in
Options→Reduction Factors for Lateral Loads.
 Red. Factor Axial Load. Under default conditions, group-reduction factors will not be
considered for axial loading. This column is available if the user selects Options→Reduction
Factors for Axial Loads. The user may enter a different reduction factor for each pile subgroup.
Information regarding "Reduction Factor for Piles Under Axial Loading in a Closely-Spaced Pile
Group" is included in Chapter 7 of the Technical Manual.

 Add Row. Add a new at the end of the list.


 Insert Row. Add a new row above the current row.
Delete Row. Delete the current row.

For each pile (row) the following columns are available:

 Pile-Top Vertical X-Coordinate. Determines the vertical position of a typical pile head for each
subgroup. The sign convention is established as positive being downwards from the global
origin of coordinates. The user must determine the global origin of coordinates based on the
points of load application to the pile group. In most applications, as shown in Figure 3.32, the
loads will be applied at the top-middle location of the pile cap. The global origin of coordinates
is thus established at that point. Figure 3.32 also describes the local coordinates of pile
subgroups. X coordinate should always be positive.
 Pile-Top Horizontal Y-Coordinate. Determines the horizontal position of a typical pile head for
each subgroup. The sign convention is established as positive to the right of the global origin of
coordinates (X-axis in Figure 3.32). The example shown in Figure 3.32 thus indicates that pile
subgroups 1 and 2 would have negative numbers for their Pile-Top Horizontal Y-Coordinate
values. In the same example, pile subgroups 3 and 4 would have positive values.

 Batter Angle. Determines the batter angle of piles in each subgroup. The batter angle is
defined as positive if the pile axis is counterclockwise from the downward vertical direction.
Thus, the pile tip for a pile with positive batter will be to the right of the pile head. The batter
angle must be entered in degrees.

For reference, some commonly-used batter angles are listed below.

Batter Ratio Batter Angle Batter Angle

 Distance from Pile Top to Ground Line. This number defines the distance to the ground line
from the top of the typical pile of each subgroup. The sign conventions are established as
positive downward. A negative value indicates that the pile head is below ground level. A value
of zero indicates that the top of the piles are aligned with the ground surface. All pile subgroups
of the example shown in Figure 3.32 would thus need positive entries in this column.
This distance is also used to simulate a group of piles on sloped ground. An illustration for this
case is shown in Figure 3.33. GROUP allows this option only if the distance from pile top to
ground surface for all the piles are located within the top soil layer.

plane. The angle must be entered in degrees. Enter zero for vertical piles.
 Angle 𝜷. Determines the batter angle between the projection of piles on the Y-Z plane and the
pile axis of each pile. The batter angle must be entered in degrees. Enter 90 for vertical piles.
 Distance from Pile Top to Ground Line. Defines the distance to the ground line from the top of
the typical pile of each subgroup. The sign conventions are established as positive downwards.
A negative value indicates that the pile head is below ground level. A value of zero indicates
that the top of the piles are aligned with the ground surface.

Note on local axes

The local axes for each pile are defined as follow:

- Local x-axis is along the pile. Positive direction is defined from the top of the pile to the pile tip.
- Local y and z-axis are perpendicular to the pile axis.

Figure 3.35 Local Axes Definition

The orientation of the local axes depends on the batter angle (2D model) or the α and β angles
for 3D modes. For 2D models the local z-axis is always in the direction of the Global Z-axis. So, the local
x and y-axes will be always in the plane XY. Two examples showing the orientation of the local axes (x,

o Maximum Iterations on Individual Pile. This is the maximum number of iterations allowed
for each individual pile. The default value is 100.
o Tolerance on Equilibrium of Pile Group.
• Primary relative criteria (DU/U). This is the maximum tolerated relative error on pile
cap deflections computed by two consecutive iterations for the global pile group.
The default value is 0.0001.
• Alternative absolute criteria. Check this option for using an absolute criteria to check
the convergence on the pile cap. If checking this option, the following two values
must be input:
• Tolerance of Cap Deflection. This is the maximum tolerated difference on cap
deflections computed by two consecutive iterations for the pile group. The default
value is 0.0001 in (2.54 x 10-6 m).
• Tolerance of Cap Rotation. This is the maximum tolerated difference on cap
deflections computed by two consecutive iterations for the pile group. The default
value is 1 x 10-6 rad.

o Tolerance on Pile Deflection. This is the maximum tolerated difference on pile deflections
computed by two consecutive iterations for individual piles. The default value is 0.0001 in
(2.54 x 10-6 m).
o Initial Step Increment. This value is helpful if the program is not able to reach convergence
by applying the total load. The user may use this value to apply the load in steps. At each
step the program will apply an increment of load equal to this value times the total load.
The default value is 1.
o Minimum Step Increment. This value is helpful if the program does not reach convergence
by applying the total load. If the program does not reach convergence, the program will try
to use a load increment factor equal to half of the current load increment factor. If the new
increment factor is smaller than this value, the program will stop the analysis for the current
load case. The default value is 1.
o Include Axial Load Variation Along Piles. Check this option, to use the axial load variation
along piles for the analysis of the pile group. This option is only available if the program
computes the axial load displacement curve internally, since the program computes the t-z
and q-w curves internally. So this option is not available in piles where a user defined axial
load displacement curve is defined.
o Number of Processors, nmax n. Enter the number of processors desired to be used for the
analysis of the current load case. The program display the maximum number of processors

Procedure to Estimate the Foundation Stiffness Based on Nonlinear Soil Response

The procedure to estimate the Foundation Stiffness Based on Nonlinear Soil Response can be
summarized in the following steps:

1. Estimation of Flexibility Coefficients. The flexibility coefficients are estimating by performing an


analyis applying a force in one degree of freedom and no force in all other degrees of freedom.
By dividing the resultant displacements between the applied force the flexibility components
associated to the degree of freedom in which the load was appiled the flexibility coefficientes
are estimated. See Figure 3.54 , Figure 3.55, and Figure 3.56 for the estimation of the flexibility
components in the two dimensional case

2. Estimation of Flexibility Matrix. The Flexibility Matrix is obtained by filling out the flexibility
coefficients estimated. The flexibility coefficients estimated while applying the force in one
degree of freedom correspond to a complete row in the Flexibility Matrix. In Figure 3.57 a
Flexibility Matrix for a 2-dimensional model is presented, while in Figure 3.58 theFlexibility
Matrix for a 3-dimensional model is presented.
Please note that in general the GROUPprogram represent the soil using nonlinear springs. For a
nonlinear system, the symmetric coupling (off-diagonal) components may not have the same
value, so the Flexibility Matrix obtained by the group program is non-sysmmetric. Only if the
system is linear elastic the Flexibility Matrix will be symmetric.

3. Estimation of the Stiffness Matrix. The Stiffness Matrix is obtained by using the relationship
betwwen the Flexibility and Stiffness Matrices. The Stiffness Matrix is the inverse of the
Flexibility Matrix.
Please note that if the Flexibility Matrix is non-symmetric, the Stiffness Matrix is also non-
sysmmetric.
In Figure 3.60 a Flexibility Matrix for a 2-dimensional model is presented, while in Figure 3.61
theFlexibility Matrix for a 3-dimensional model is presented.

4. Only Diagonal Terms. If the user only wants to estimate a Stiffness Matrix considering only the
diagona terms, the program fills only the diagonal terms on the Flexibility Matrix, then the
program inverts the Diagonal Flexibilty Matrix to estimate the Diagonal Stiffness Matrix. Those
matrices for the 3-dimensional case are presented in Figure 3.62 and Figure 3.63.

Important Notes

The estimation of theflexibility components as well as the Stiffness Matrix may involve a
numerous number of analyses, so it is reccomended to be sure that the program gets a solution with the
suggested level of load before running a case including the Stiffness Matix Estimation.

If a force in a specific degree of freedom is not defined, the program will not estimate the
flexibility components for that degree of fredoom.

CHAPTER 3 References for Data Input 3-73

If the program can not get convergence for an analysis on a specific degree of freedom, the
program will not estimate the flexibility components for that degree of fredoom.

If the program do not get components for an specific degree of freedom, for numerical purposes
it assumes a value of 1 for diagonal terms and 0 for off-diagonal terms. The values assumed for the
program on those cases are only for completeness and to avoid numerical problems, those are not
intended to replace a more rigorous computations. User should proced with caution if values are
missing or there is no convergence in the solution.

Since the current procedure involves nonlinear behavior, both the Flexibility Matrix and Stiffness
Matrix may be non-symmetric.

Procedure to Estimate the Foundation Stiffness Based on Equivalent Elastic Springs

The procedure to estimate the Foundation Stiffness Based on Equivalent Elastic Springs can be
summarized in the following steps:

Perform analysis for a level of load or for a target displacement (may require iterations).

Estimate equivalent elastic lateral springs along the pile and axial springs at the top of pile.

Calculate equivalent elastic stiffness at each pile head by means of static condensation.

Compute equivalent elastic stiffness at pile cap using a kinematic approach.

1. Analysis for Load or Target Displacement. Perform an analysis for the defined level of load or
for an specific target dispalcement. If a target displacement is desired, various analysis may be
required until getting the target deflection within a tolerance.

2. Estimation of Elastic Springs. If a solution was obtained the soil behavior is represented using
equivalent elastic springs. The equivalent elastic lateral springs along the pile are estimated by
dividing the soil reaction between the lateral deflection times the increment on discretization
along the pile. The equivalent elastic axial spring at the top of each pile is estimated by dividing
the axial force at the top of the pile by the axial displacement at the top of the pile. For a three
dimensional model the equivalent elastic torsional spring at each pile is estimated by dividing
the torsional moment at the top of the pile by the torsional rotation at the top of the pile.

3. Static Condensation. The lateral equivalent stiffness at each pile head is estimated based on the
method of static condensation.

4. Equivalent Stiffness for Pile Group. The Equivalent Elastic Stiffness for the whole pile group is
estimated by the kinematic method, considering the coordinates and direction of each pile.

Important Notes

The estimation of the Stiffness Matrix may involve a numerous number of analyses, so it is
reccomended to be sure that the program gets a solution with the suggested level of load before
running a case including the Stiffness Matix Estimation.

Since the current procedure involves equivalent linear springs, the Stiffness Matrix is symmetric.

CHAPTER 3 References for Data Input 3-88

Check on the Pile-Cap Embedded option only if the user intends to take into account the
passive-earth resistance of the soil existing in front of the pile cap. If the pile cap is not embedded into a
permanent-soil stratum, or if the user does not want to include the passive-earth pressure because of
erosion or other consideration, this option should not be checked.

When using embedded pile caps, GROUP automatically modifies the internally generated p-y
curves according to the soil overburden pressure. The GROUP program cannot use a user-input p-y
curve to account for the passive resistance against embedded pile caps. Note that the additional axial
loading on top of the pile cap due to the weight of soil above is not computed by the GROUP program. If
necessary, users must complete and add this load to their axial compression loads on top of the pile cap.

For embedded pile caps, the GROUP program requires that the top soil layer extend from
ground line to the bottom of the pile cap or further below (but not above). This is necessary in order to
properly evaluate the possibility of wedge failure in the top surfaces. In 3-D analyses the “length”
dimension of an embedded pile cap corresponds to the Y-direction. The “width” dimension thus
corresponds to the Z-direction.

A description of the method of computation for the passive-earth pressure is presented in


Chapter 8 of the Technical Manual.

The Program will use the dimensions for the tridimensional representation of the model. If the
user does not include these values, the program will assume those dimensions based on the pile group
configuration

the data input required for each particular soil.
 Depth for Top of Soil Layer. Values for the top of the soil layer are entered according to the global
origin of coordinates of the pile group. The origin of global coordinates is at the point of application
of group loads, usually at the top of the pile cap. A positive value indicates a distance measured
downward from the top of the pile cap. A negative value usually indicates a distance measured
above the top of the pile cap (only used for permanently embedded pile caps).
 Depth for Bottom of Soil Layer. Values for the bottom of the soil layer are also entered according to
the global origin of coordinates of the pile group. The coordinate of the bottom of each layer should
always be equal to the coordinate of the top of the following layer.

Description of the soil parameters as follows:

 Effective Unit Weight. Values of effective unit weight for each soil depth are entered in
standard units of force per unit volume. The program will linearly interpolate for values
between two consecutive soil depths.
 Undrained Cohesion, c. Values of undrained cohesion (undrained shear strength), for clays and
silts at each depth are entered in standard units of force per unit area. The undrained shear
strength is generally taken as half of the unconfined compressive strengths.
 Strain Factor, 50. Values of strain at 50% of the maximum stress 𝜖50 for clays at each soil depth
are entered in standard units of strain. Table 3.5 provides values of 𝜖50 for clays and Table 3.6
provides values for stiff clays.

 Friction Angle, . Values of the angle of internal friction, , for sands and/or silts at each soil
depth are entered in degrees.
 p-y Modulus, k. This is the value for the constant 𝑘 used in the equation 𝐸𝑠 = 𝑘𝑥. This constant
is in units of force per cubic length and depends on the type of soil and lateral loading imposed
on the pile group. It has two different uses: 1) to define the initial (maximum) value of 𝐸𝑠 on
internally generated p-y curves of submerged stiff clays and/or sands; and ii) to initialize the 𝐸𝑠
array for the first iteration of pile analysis. Suggested values of the parameter 𝑘 for sands are
given in Table 3.7. Suggested values for the parameter 𝑘 used for clays are given in Table 3.8.

 Ultimate unit side friction. Values of maximum unit side friction are the maximum values of unit
side resistance to axial loads, fmax. These values are used by the program in order to generate
t-z curves internally. These values are ignored and should be left as zero if the user prefers to
enter specific load-displacement curves. Values of maximum unit side friction should be

3.3.16 Data- Sets of Data to Print p-y Curves

This submenu option allows the user to enter information for printing the internally generated
p-y curves. This submenu option is inactive under normal conditions.

Only internally generated p-y curves may be printed by the program. Printed p-y curves are
calculated expressly for the specified depths only for verification purposes. The number of depths that
the user selects has no effects on the accuracy of the results because the p-y curves are calculated at
each pile increment for internal computations.

In the output data file and graphics, the labels of depths of p-y curves are printed as depths
below ground line. These labels will thus be different than requested depths of printout when the
ground line is not at the same level as the origin of the global coordinate system.

If the user selects Pile-Cap Embedded under Pile Cap Options and also request to print an
internally generated p-y curve within the height of the pile cap, then two different p-y curves will be
printed: one corresponding to the p-y curve for the pile cap and the other corresponding to the p-y
curve for the specified pile subgroup. The difference can easily be identified in the pile diameters. In
addition, the p-y curve corresponding to the pile cap will usually be a stiffer curve.

To activate this submenu option, the user must check Print p-y Curves under the Options menu.

The following buttons may be available based on the number of desired p-y curves to print:

 Add Row. To add a new row for definition of a p-y print at the end of the list.

Figure 3.116 Reduction Factors for Lateral Loads Window

The user is provided with the following options:

o Ignore Effects: Indicates that the group effects of closely-spaced piles will be ignored
o Specify: Indicates that the user will directly specified the values of reduction factors for
lateral loads. Those values are specified in the P-Multiplier and Y-Multiplier columns of the
Pile Groups window under the Data menu.
o Automatically Generate, get movement from analysis: Indicates that the program will
automatically generate reduction factors for piles in a closely-spaced group. Also, the
program will get the direction of cap movement from the analysis
o Automatically Generate, define reference movement : Indicates that the program will
automatically generate reduction factors for piles in a closely-spaced group. The direction of
movement will be specified by the user in the UY and UZ fields. Check on this option if there
are problems of convergence and the solution is moving back and forth between iterations.
You can do an initial analysis using ignoring effects to get the direction of movement and
then do the final analysis using this option.

Information about these factors are included in Chapter 6 in the Technical Manual, “Reduction
Factor for Soil Resistance in a Closely-Spaced Pile Group”.

o Maximum Iterations on Pile Group. This is the maximum number of iterations allowed for
the global behavior of the pile group. The default value is 100.

GROUP 2014 for Windows User's Manual

o Maximum Iterations on Individual Pile. This is the maximum number of iterations allowed
for each individual pile. The default value is 100.
o Tolerance on Equilibrium of Pile Group.
• Primary relative criteria (DU/U). This is the maximum tolerated relative error on pile
cap deflections computed by two consecutive iterations for the global pile group.
The default value is 0.0001.
• Alternative absolute criteria. Check this option for using an absolute criteria to check
the convergence on the pile cap. If checking this option, the following two values
must be input:
• Tolerance of Cap Deflection. This is the maximum tolerated difference on cap
deflections computed by two consecutive iterations for the pile group. The default
value is 0.0001 in (2.54 x 10-6 m).
• Tolerance of Cap Rotation. This is the maximum tolerated difference on cap
deflections computed by two consecutive iterations for the pile group. The default
value is 1 x 10-6 rad.

o Tolerance on Pile Deflection. This is the maximum tolerated difference on pile deflections
computed by two consecutive iterations for individual piles. The default value is 0.0001 in
(2.54 x 10-6 m).
o Initial Step Increment. This value is helpful if the program is not able to reach convergence
by applying the total load. The user may use this value to apply the load in steps. At each
step the program will apply an increment of load equal to this value times the total load.
The default value is 1.
o Minimum Step Increment. This value is helpful if the program does not reach convergence
by applying the total load. If the program does not reach convergence, the program will try
to use a load increment factor equal to half of the current load increment factor. If the new
increment factor is smaller than this value, the program will stop the analysis for the current
load case. The default value is 1.
o Include Axial Load Variation Along Piles. Check this option, to use the axial load variation
along piles for the analysis of the pile group. This option is only available if the program
computes the axial load displacement curve internally, since the program computes the t-z
and q-w curves internally. So this option is not available in piles where a user defined axial
load displacement curve is defined.
o Number of Processors, nmax n. Enter the number of processors desired to be used for the
analysis of the current load case. The program display the maximum number of processors

The actual number of lines titled READING depends on the input. If the processor-run notes
stop at a certain line without listing the line COMPUTATION IS PROCEEDING..., the user should check
the specific input corresponding to the last line read and the line immediately following (that was
not read).

After the line COMPUTATION IS PROCEEDING..., the program prints for each load case or load
combination the error norm for global iterations (pile cap convergence) and iterations for lateral
analysis of each pile if printing is requested for all the piles.

Common types of analytical-run failures are those providing error messages like Pile Failure in
Uplift or Pile Failure in Bearing. These two conditions will occur when the axial load on a pile is
greater than the ultimate axial capacity of the corresponding pile. To correct these types of
problems, the user should check the pile size and soil parameters and make sure that the input data
is reasonable. If the pile and soil properties are proper, the user should reduce the axial load on the
pile cap for a new analysis. Also, these errors may be triggered if the analysis diverges under the
current loading. There may be different causes for divergence, so a complete review of the input
data is recommended

4.2.6 Computation- Edit Output Results File

This submenu is used to edit the output-text file that is automatically produced during each
analytical run. This command becomes active after new data files have been saved to disk and
executed, or when opening previously-executed data files. Information usually contained in the output
files consists of:

o results for deformation of the pile cap,


o results for loads and deformation at the pile head for each pile (or a standard pile of each
subgroup for 2D analysis), and
o results for deflection, bending moment, shear, soil resistance, and related information, as a
function of depth for each pile (or a standard pile of each subgroup for 2D analysis).
o data for selected p-y curves,

4.5.2 Graphs- p-y Curves

GROUP 2014 will generate p-y curves at user-specified depths for any particular pile or subgroup
selected by the user. This graphics option becomes available only if the user asked the program to print
p-y curves for verification purposes using the command for Print p-y curves under the Options menu
and the option Set of Data to Print p-y curves under the Data menu.

When available, the graphics screen will show the p-y curves for all selected depths.

In the output data file and graphics, the labels of depths of p-y curves are computed as depths
below the ground line. These labels will thus be different than requested depths of printout when the
ground line is not at the same level as the origin of the global coordinate system (usually at the level of
the pile cap).

If the user selects Pile-Cap Embedded under the Pile Cap Options menu item and also requests
to print an internally generated p-y curve within the height of the pile cap, then two different p-y curves
will be plotted. One will correspond to the p-y curve for the pile cap and the other will correspond to
the p-y curve for the specified pile subgroup. The difference can easily be identified in the pile
diameters. In addition, the p-y curve corresponding to the pile cap will usually be a stiffer curve.

4.5.3 Graphs- Axial Load vs. Displacement

If the program was asked to generate internally the curve of axial load versus displacement of a
single pile, the user may select this item to observe a graphical representation of the curve.

Two curves are always generated for each pile type. One curve corresponds to movements due
to tensile loads while the other corresponds to movements due to compressive loads. Curves
corresponding to tensile loads are always the ones ending on a vertical slope. Theoretically, curves
corresponding to tensile and compressive loads may be equal if soils offer no resistance in end bearing.

CHAPTER 5 Example Problems Based on Two-Dimensional Analyses 5-2

5.1 Introduction

Several problems are provided herein as examples of different applications that may be solved
using GROUP 2014. Each example focuses on a particular computational feature of the program. Input
files for each example are automatically copied to the GROUP 2014 directory (examples folder) during
installation. GROUP 2014 allows the user to analyze the pile group either using 2-dimensional model or
using 3-dimensional model. The data files are named 2DexampleN.gp9d, where N represents the
desired example number, for two-dimensional applications.

Example problems provide the user information on input and output of various cases, and
present a quick tutorial for real-world applications. The user is encouraged to study these examples
and, with modifications, may use them to solve similar problems. However, by no means can these
limited examples explore the full functions and features provided by GROUP 2014.

Main features of the examples for two-dimensional analysis included with GROUP 2014 are
summarized in the table below.

Additional application problems will become available electronically at our internet website,
which may be accessed with the following unified resource locator (url):

5.2 Example Problem 1 - 2D

5.2.1 Model Description

The geometrical configuration of Example Problem 1 - 2D is shown in Figure 5.1. It consists of


four, steel-pipe piles of two inches in diameters that are arranged symmetrically with respect to the XY
plane. These piles are rigidly connected to the pile cap. The typical tube has a cross sectional area of
0.380 in2. The yield stress is 64 x 103 psi, and the Young's modulus of the steel is 29 x 106 psi. Each pile
subgroup consists of two identical piles of 108 inches in length. All piles are standing approximately 12
inches above the ground surface.

The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the center of the pile cap and leveled with the
pile tops (Figure 5.1). The loads are applied at the global origin of coordinates.

The applied loads are:

Vertical load = 17,770 lbs,

Lateral load = 3,700 lbs,

Moment = -7800 lbs-in

The soil consists of submerged dense sand. Two sets of p-y curves are inputted. In the first set,
a modification factor of 0.73 was applied to consider the effect of the out-battered piles of subgroup #2.

The example model has a user-specified curve of axial load versus displacement that was
obtained from a previous experiment performed in a test tank. The input and output files for the
example problem are shown in the following pages.

The contents of the input and output files (for this and all the examples) are reproduced using
the courier font for distinction.

5.3 Example Problem 2 - 2D

5.3.1 Model Description

The geometrical configuration of Example Problem 2 - 2D is shown in Figure 5.4. It consists of


six 18-inch square, prestressed concrete piles of 93 ft in lengths, which are assumed to be rigidly
connected to the pile cap. Subgroups 1 and 4 have only one pile battered 1:4 in the plane of loading (x-y
plane). Subgroups 2 and 3 have two piles battered 1:6 away from the plane of loading. However, the
pile subgroups 2 and 3 are regarded as composed of vertical piles, because the projection of these piles
on the plane of loading is vertical. Distance from the pile cap to the assumed scour line is approximately
10 ft.

The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the center of the pile cap and at the top of a
bent which is located 38.5 ft (462 in) above the origin of global coordinates.

The applied loads are:

Vertical load = 844 kips (844,000 lbs),

Lateral load = 36.4 kips (36,400 lbs),

Moment = 0

The general section property of the prestressed concrete pile is shown in Figure 5.5. The
compressive strength of the concrete is assumed to be 6,000 psi. The moment of inertia of the section
is 8,600 in4. The Young's modulus of the concrete is 4.44 x 106 psi. In this case the pile is regarded as
linearly elastic throughout, with the assumption that maximum stress in the pile is always in the elastic
range.

Theoretical lateral soil-resistance curves are internally generated by the program. The soil is
submerged soft clay with properties shown in Figure 5.4. For the example, the contribution of the top 5
ft is neglected by defining a soft clay layer with very low resistance (c=0.001 psi). Note that no
modifications of the p-y curves has been made in this example for the pile-batter effect. The curve of
axial load versus pile-top displacement used in this example is shown in Figure 5.6.

This example problem includes a printout of p-y curves internally generated by the program for
pile subgroup 1 at the depths of 180 in, 252 in, 360 in and 1116 in below the origin of coordinates that
correspond to 60 in, 132 in, 240 in and 996 in below the ground line. This curves are printed out for
verification purposes. The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following
pages.

5.4 Example Problem 3 - 2D

5.4.1 Model Description

This example serves the purpose of demonstrating the various input/outputs in the program.
Users may find it helpful if there are uncertainties for the input parameters.

The loads and the geometric configuration of the foundation in this example are the same as
those in Example 2 - 2D. In this example, subgroups 1 and 4 have pile tops which are elastically
restrained instead of fixed to the pile cap. Rotational stiffness of the springs is assumed to be 5.5 x 106
lbs-in/rad. Two curves of axial versus displacement and two types of piles are used. Pile type 1 has the
same dimensions and properties as those in Example 2 - 2D. Pile type 2 has two uniform sections. From
0 to 500 in the pile has the same dimensions as pile type 1. From 500 to 1116 in, the diameter of pile is
reduced to 9 in, the moment of inertia is equal to 538 in4, and the area of the cross section is 81 in2.

A distributed load curve is used to represent loads applied along the piles.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

5.5 Example Problem 4 - 2D

5.5.1 Model Description

The geometrical configuration of Example Problem 4 - 2D, shown in Figure 5.12, shows a pile-
supported retaining wall with the piles spaced 3 feet apart. The piles are 14 inches in outside diameter
with 4-No 7 reinforcement-steel bars spaced equally. The center of the bars are on a 8-inch circle. The
yield strength of the reinforcing steel is 60 ksi and the compressive strength of the concrete is 2.67 ksi.
The length of the piles is 40 feet.

The backfill is a free-draining, granular soil without any fine particles. The surface of the backfill
is treated to facilitate a runoff, and weep holes are provided so that water will not collect behind the
wall.

The forces P1, P2, PS and PW (shown in Figure 5.12) were estimated as follows: 21.4, 4.6, 18.4 and
22.5 kips, respectively. The equivalent load at the origin of coordinates is FX=45.5 kips, FY=21.4 kips and
MZ=-33.5 ft-kips.

The subsurface soils at the site consist of silty clay. The water content averaged 20% in the top
10 feet. The water table was reported to be at depth of 10 feet. There was a considerable range in the
undrained shear strength of the clay and an average value of 3 ksf was used in the analysis. A value of
the submerged unit weight of 46 pcf was employed, and the value of 50 was estimated to be 0.005. The
axial load versus displacement curve is shown in Figure 5.13.

In making the computations, the assumption was made that all the load by the piles with none
of the load taken by passive earth pressure or by the base of the footing. It was further assumed that
the pile heads were free to rotate.

The computed load in the piles is shown in Figure 5.14. The following check is made to see that
the equilibrium equation are satisfied.

FX = 11.6 +33.9 = 45.5 kips

FY = 6.5 +14.9 = 21.4 kips

Z = 11.6 (1.5) -33.9 (1.5) = 33.5 ft-kips

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

5.6 Example Problem 5 - 2D

5.6.1 Model Description

This example is included to show the use of the program for pile subgroups distributed in a
circular configuration (Figure 5.19). Circular pile groups are, in general, used for offshore structures.
There are 8 piles in each leg and 4-subgroups are employed for two-dimensional analysis. The pile
dimensions and geometry of each pile are given in Figure 5.19. Each steel pile is 150 meters in length,
and a total of 140 meters penetrates the seabed. The soil at the site is medium dense sand with an
internal friction angle of 38 to 40 degrees. The submerged soil density is approximately 9.5 kN/m3.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

5.7 Example Problem 6 - 2D

5.7.1 Model Description

This example problem is used to illustrate the feature of internal generation of curves of axial
load versus displacement. There are 3 piles with different dimensions as shown in Figure 5.22. The soil
at the site is stiff clay with a cohesive strength of 17.4 psi. The maximum load-transfer for axial loads is
estimated to be 8.7 psi. The curves of load versus displacement that were generated by the program
are presented in the output..

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

5.8 Example Problem 7 - 2D

5.8.1 Model Description

This example is included to show the use of the program to compute the data for foundation
stiffness (flexibility matrix components) of the pile foundation, which may be needed for the
superstructure analysis. Figure 5.25 shows a 3 by 3 pile group with the pile cap, which is below the
existing ground surface. The piles are 30 inches in diameter and 50 feet in length. The piles are closely
spaced with the center to center spacing equal to 3 pile diameters. The soil is stiff clay, and group
reduction factors on piles are generated internally by the program.

It should be noted that the origin (0,0) is set 5 feet below the ground surface(Figure 5.25 );
therefore, the top of the ground surface has the coordinate of -60 inches for the input. The program
divides the loadings into 10 increments and computes the pile cap response for each individual loading
to estimate the data for foundation stiffness. The different components of the foundation stiffness
matrix can be estimated from the flexibility components.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

5.9 Example Problem 8 - 2D

5.9.1 Model Description

For an embedded pile cap, the lateral soil resistance on the pile cap may be considered in the
analysis, as discussed in Chapter 8 of the Technical Manual. This example is included to illustrate the
use of the program to compute the resistance of the embedded pile cap. Figure 5.33 shows a 3 by 2 pile
group with the pile cap, which is 1 foot below the existing ground surface. The user must specify the
dimensions of the pile cap when soil resistance is considered.

The pile cap for this example is 16 feet by 10 feet by 2 feet, as shown in Figure 5.33. The piles
are 24 inches in diameter and 37 feet in length. The piles are closely spaced with the center to center
spacing equal to 3 pile diameters. The subsurface consists of a layer of stiff clay underlain by soft clay
and medium dense sand. The group reduction factors on closely spaced piles are generated internally
by the program.

It should be noted that the origin of coordinates (0,0) is set at the top of the pile cap (1 foot
below the ground surface), therefore, the top of the ground surface has the coordinate of -12 inches.
The vertical coordinate at the pile head is 24 inches below the origin (downward is positive).

Also, this example shows the use of the program to compute the foundation stiffness matrix of
the pile foundation, which may be needed for the superstructure analysis

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

6.1 Introduction

Several problems are provided herein as examples of different applications that may be solved
using GROUP. Each example focuses on a particular computational feature of the program. Input files
for each example are automatically copied to the GROUP directory (examples folder) during installation.
GROUP allows the user to analyze the pile group either using 2-dimensional model or using 3-
dimensional model. The data files are named 3DexampleN.gp9d, where N represents the desired
example number, for three-dimensional applications.

Example problems provide the user information on input and output of various cases, and
present a quick tutorial for real-world applications. The user is encouraged to study these examples
and, with modifications, may use them to solve similar problems. However, by no means can these
limited examples explore the full functions and features provided by GROUP.

Main features of the examples for two-dimensional analysis included with GROUP are
summarized in the table below.

Additional application problems will become available electronically at our internet website,
which may be accessed with the following unified resource locator (url):

Users may also access ENSOFT, INC.'s website to observe responses to commonly asked
questions related to the GROUP program.

Example Name Name of Input File Description


Pile group consists of vertical and battered
piles. The user enters the curve for Axial load
vs. displacement. The program generates the
soil-resistance (p-y) curve internally. This
Example 1 - 3D 3Dexample1.gp9d
example is similar to Example 2 - 2D in Chapter
5, where the analysis has been changed from a
2-dimensional model to a 3-dimensional
model.

the front row and the back row. The piles in
the front row are also battered.
Application of a 5 pile group with 3-
dimensional analysis. Four piles are installed at
Example 5 - 3D 3Dexample5.gp9d
each corner and the fifth pile is installed at the
center of the pile cap.
Application of piles in a circular group with 3-
dimensional analysis. This example is similar to
Example 6 - 3D 3Dexample6.gp9d Example 5 - 2D in Chapter 5, where the
analysis has been changed from a 2-
dimensional model to a 3-dimensional model..

6.2 Example Problem 1 - 3D

6.2.1 Model Description

The geometrical configuration of Example Problem 1 - 3D is shown in Figure 6.1. It consists of


six 18-inch square, prestressed concrete piles of 93 ft in length, which are assumed to be rigidly
connected to the pile cap. Subgroups 1 and 4 have only one pile battered 1:4 in the plane of loading (x-y
plane). Subgroups 2 and 3 have two piles battered 1:6 away from the plane of loading. However, the
pile subgroups 2 and 3 are regarded as composed of vertical piles, because the projection of these piles
on the plane of loading is vertical. Distance from the pile cap to the assumed scour line is approximately
10 ft.

The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the center of the pile cap and at the top of a
bent which is located 38.5 ft (462 in) above the origin of global coordinates.

The applied loads are:

Vertical load = 844 kips (844,000 lbs),

Lateral load = 36.4 kips (36,400 lbs),

Moment = 0

The general section properties of the prestressed concrete pile is shown in Figure 6.2. The
compressive strength of the concrete is assumed to be 6,000 psi. The moment of inertia of the section
is 8,600 in4. The Young's modulus of the concrete is 4.44 x 106 psi. In this case the pile is regarded as
linearly elastic throughout, with the assumption that maximum stress in the pile is always in the elastic
range.

Theoretical lateral soil-resistance curves are internally generated by the program. The soil is
submerged soft clay with properties shown in Figure 6.3. For the example, the contribution of the top 5
ft is neglected by defining a soft clay layer with very low resistance (c=0.001 psi). Note that no
modifications of the p-y curves has been made in this example for the pile-batter effect. The curve of
axial load versus pile-top displacement used in this example is shown in Figure 5.6.

This example problem includes a printout of p-y curves internally generated by the program for
pile subgroup 1 at the depths of 180 in, 252 in, 360 in and 1116 in below the origin of coordinates that
correspond to 60 in, 132 in, 240 in and 996 in below the ground line. These curves are printed out for
verification purposes. The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following
pages.

6.3 Example Problem 2 - 3D

6.3.1 Model Description

This example serves the purpose of demonstrating the pile group subjected to lateral forces
from both longitudinal and transverse directions. The pile group consists of four drilled shafts of 36
inches in diameter that are arranged un-symmetrically with respect to the pile cap because one pile was
installed with a batter angle accidentally. The center to center spacing is 3 pile diameters. These piles
are rigidly connected to the pile cap. The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the bottom of
the pile cap.The global origin of coordinates is set at the point of application of loads.

The subsurface layers consist of 15 ft of soft clay (c = 4 psi, 50 = 0.02) underlain by 20 ft stiff clay
(c = 16 psi, 50 = 0.005) A layer of dense sand with an internal friction angle of 38 degrees is encountered
at depths of 35 ft to 70 ft below the ground surface. This example asks the program to generate the
curves of axial load versus displacement, torque versus rotation, and p-y curves internally.

The Y-direction is defined as longitudinal direction and the Z-direction is defined as the
transversed direction. The component forces on the pile cap are: 600 kips at the X direction
(downward), 75 kips at the Y direction (lateral), 50 kips at the Z direction (lateral), a moment of 2000 ft-
kips on the XY plane, and moment of 1000 ft-kips on the XZ plane.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

6.4 Example Problem 3 - 3D

6.4.1 Model Description

This example uses the same pile properties and soil data presented in Example Problem 2 - 3D,
except that the model has only torsional force applied at the top of the pile cap. The local axis y for the
piles is oriented tangentially and the local axis z is oriented toward the center of the pile cap. The
torque of 9000 in-kips is applied at the center of the pile cap.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

The results indicates that each pile takes 29.5 kips on shear on the tangential direction (local y
axes) and 0 kips on the radial direction (z axis). The following check is made to see that the equilibrium
equation is satisfied for pile heads with the pin connection.

SM = 4 * 29.46 * 54 *1.4141 = 8999 in - kips

(that is very close to the applied 9000 in-kips, OK)

6.5 Example Problem 4 - 3D

6.5.1 Model Description

This example is used to demonstrate an application of employing a pile group to be part of


breasting structures (Figure 6.12). Two rows of steel piles are, in general, used for breasting structures.
The front row consists of 5 batter piles (batter angle= 10 degrees) and the back row consists of 4
battered piles (batter angle= 20 degrees ). Each steel pile is 96 feet in length with an outside diameter
of 24 inches. The thickness of the steel pile is 0.5 inches. The pile head is 53 feet above the mud line.

The soil at the site is medium to medium dense sand underlain by a layer of stiff clay. The
internal friction angle vary from 25 degree near the top to 35 degree at the bottom of the sand layer.
The stiff clay has an averaged shear strength of 48 psi at depths of 85 feet to 100 feet from the origin
which is set at the bottom of the pile cap.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

6.6 Example Problem 5 - 3D

6.6.1 Model Description

This example problem is used to illustrate a pile group with 5 piles arranged in a diamond shape
as shown in Figure 6.15. The soil at the site is soft clay with a cohesive strength that increases linearly
from 5.2 psi at the ground surface to 10.4 psi at 100 feet. The maximum load-transfer in skin friction for
axial loads is estimated to be 5.2 psi at the top and 8 psi near the pile tip. All piles are steel pipe piles
with 10.75 inches outer diameter and 10.,02 inches inner diameter. The connection between the pile
and the pile cap is rigid for all the piles.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

a circular configuration (Figure 6.18). The same problem was also presented in Chapter 5 based on 2
dimensional analysis.

Circular pile groups are, in general, used for offshore structures. There are 8 piles in each leg
that are employed for three-dimensional analysis. The pile dimensions and geometry of each pile are
given in Figure 6.18. Each steel pile is 150 meters in length, and a total of 140 meters penetrates the
seabed. The soil at the site is medium dense sand with an internal friction angle of 38 to 40 degrees.
The submerged soil density is approximately 9.5 kN/m3.

The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.
