Geotechnical and structural engineers searching for a solution to analyze axial, lateral and settlement performance for single piles, groups and rafts
About DeepFND
DeepFND is a powerful, user-friendly software tool for deep foundation pile design that brings together geotechnical and structural calculations in one integrated environment. It allows engineers to compute axial geotechnical pile capacity (skin friction, end bearing) and estimate settlement response from SPT or CPT inputs, perform full lateral pile analysis (displacement, shear, moment) via defined head-loads or pushover routines, and design single piles, pile groups, and pile rafts, including custom pile-cap geometries. It supports nearly all pile types, drilled, driven, CFA, caissons, drilled-in-displacement, micropiles, and helical piles, and models soil-structure interaction either via soil springs or a full 3D finite-element engine. It enables structural checks under service and factored load conditions using international design codes (ACI, AISC, Eurocodes, AS/NZS, Chinese Standards, AASHTO LRFD).

Sol-load
Sol-load is a Windows desktop application for geotechnical and structural engineers analyzing the axial capacity and load-settlement behavior of a single pile in layered soil. It calculates compression and uplift capacity using API, USACE, FHWA (Nordlund and Tomlinson), Revised Lambda, and CPT-based NGI, ICP, UWA, and Fugro methods, with nominal, ASD, or LRFD design values. Nonlinear load-transfer analysis uses shaft t-z and tip Q-w curves generated from soil inputs or entered by the user. Workflows also cover driven piles and drilled shafts, negative skin friction, neutral-plane assessment, CPT soundings, and comparison with pile load-test data. Reports can be exported to PDF, Word, and Excel, with SI and US customary units. The Windows 10/11 application uses an online license and supports up to 30 days of offline use. A 7-day free trial is available.

Solpile
Solpile is Windows desktop software for geotechnical and structural engineers analyzing a single pile under lateral loading in layered soil. Users define pile geometry, section properties and soil layers, then apply pile-head or distributed loads to calculate response. It uses p-y soil models and a finite-difference beam-on-springs solver. Analysis options include groundwater, sloping ground, battered piles, static or cyclic loading, soil movement, nonlinear pile-section behavior, axial-load interaction and LRFD combinations. Results include deflection, bending moment, shear, soil reaction and p-y curves at selected depths. Additional studies cover pushover response, buckling, stiffness and pile length. Tables and reports can be exported to PDF, Word and Excel, and analyses can use SI or US customary units. Solpile is a Windows 10/11 desktop application with online licensing and offline use for up to 30 days.
