Question 1

What is the difference between DeepFND and HelixPile?

Accepted Answer

DeepFND and HelixPile are two similar, powerful software programs for the design and evaluation pile foundations. The programs can perform structural and geotechnical, lateral, and axial analysis of any foundation pile (single piles, pile groups and pile rafts).The only difference between the two programs is the available pile types. DeepFND can design all pile sections and pile types (helical and non-helical – drilled, driven, caissons, micropiles, CFA piles and more), whereas HelixPile can design only helical piles.

Question 2

What type of pile analysis can your software do?

Accepted Answer

Our foundation piles design software DeepFND and HelixPile can perform axial and lateral analysis of any pile type. The programs can calculate the pile shaft resistance and the bearing capacity of the piles, taking into consideration the pile installation method. In addition, the software can do lateral pile analysis, calculating the pile displacements, moment and shear diagrams for any applied load combination on the pile head.

Question 3

Does your program check the structural capacities of the piles as well?

Accepted Answer

DeepFND and HelixPile software have implemented several structural codes used worldwide. The software do all calculations according to the selected standard and calculate the pile moment and shear capacities. All structural design checks and equations can be included in the software reports.

Question 4

Can your software design pile caps with a group of piles?

Accepted Answer

Our foundation pile design software can design single foundation piles, pile groups and pile rafts. 
The following pile cap shapes are available:
Rectangular Pile Caps
Triangular Pile Caps
Circular Pile Caps
Hexagonal Pile Caps
Octagonal Pile Caps
User-Defined Perimeter Pile Caps
Pile Rafts
The user can create a concrete cap of any shape and define the pile configuration (pile locations and structural sections). The program can calculate the load that is transfered on each pile, considering the pile location and analyze all piles.
