SkyCiv Foundation aims to provide a complete and a user-friendly interface to easily model pile foundations. Pile foundation module can be accessed by choosing “Αιμορροϊδές” under the foundation type drop-down on the left side panel.

Navigational Tabs

Pile foundation interface is comprised by 6 main navigational tabs. These tabs is located on the left side panel and is composed of the following:

• Pile Configurations
• Διαμορφώσεις εδάφους
• Υλικά
• Φορτία
• Reinforcements
• Παράμετροι Σχεδιασμού

This documentation contains a detailed guide using the navigational tabs on building your model.

1. Pile Configurations

This tab configures all details regarding the dimension of the concrete pile. It includes the shape, depth and width of the cross-section, length of the pile, position of the pile head, location of the the ground water table, and the boundary conditions at the head and tip of the pile. Από προεπιλογή, ground water table is toggled off, which means ground water table is not present in the soil layer.

2. Διαμορφώσεις εδάφους

Adding, removing, or adjusting soil layers can be modified through the table on the soil configurations tab. All soil layers and soil properties are also summarized on the geometry diagram, which simultaneously updates whenever any changes occur. Soil properties can be accessed by clicking the “Soil Profiles” κουμπί.

Soil profiles should instantly pop-up after clicking the button. Σε ΑΥΤΗΝ την ΕΝΟΤΗΤΑ, you have the option to add, remove, or edit each properties of the soil.

• ταυτότητα: Soil identification number
• Label: Assign name of the soil property
• Τύπος:  Select either Cohesive soil or Granular (cohesionless) έδαφος
• γ: Unit weight of the soil
• θ: Friction angle
• ντο: Cohesion of soil
• Συντελεστής Αντίδρασης Υποβάθρου: Typical values for the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction
• Del: Deletes the soil property

3. Υλικά

Properties for the concrete and steel reinforcements can be assigned here.

4. Φορτία

Load cases on the pile can be assigned in this tab which shall appear right after clicking the loads tab.

• ταυτότητα: Load identification number
• Τύπος φορτίου: Load cases for ACI 318 (Νεκρός, ζω, άνεμος, σεισμικός, στέγη, rain snow) & ΟΠΩΣ ΚΑΙ 3600 (σολ, Ερ, μι, Γου, Του)
• Π: Axial Force along the Y-axis (kN or kips)
• Vx: Shear force along the X-axis(kN or kips)
• Vz: Shear force along the Z-axis(kN or kips)
• Μx: Moment along the X-axis (kN-m or kip-ft)
• Μζ: Moment along the Z-axis (kN-m or kip-ft)
• Διαγράφω: Deletes the load

5. Ενίσχυση

Configuration of the steel reinforcement shall be accessed through here. Μπορεί να προστεθεί διάταξη ενίσχυσης, αφαιρέθηκε, ή επεξεργασία μέσω του πίνακα διάταξης ενίσχυσης στο δεξί πλαίσιο.

• Στρώμα: Reinforcement layer ID
• Number of Bars: Number of bars on that layer
• Bar Size: Bar diameter
• Distance: Location of the layer from the top of the pile
• Del: Διαγράφει το στρώμα ενίσχυσης

6. Παράμετροι Σχεδιασμού

Other design parameters required conforming to ACI 318-2014 ή AS 3600 (2018) & 2159 (2009) μπορεί να διαμορφωθεί σε αυτήν την καρτέλα.
