Introduction to Oasys Alp 19.4.30.0
Oasys Alp 19.4.30.0 is a powerful tool developed to enable engineers to analyze the behavior and inform their design of laterally loaded piles. It is a core component of the Piling Pro and Piling Bundles offered by Oasys.
Overview
Oasys Alp provides users with the ability to analyze piled foundations such as monopiles and model isolated single piles. It is particularly useful for projects with uncertain, variable, and complex ground conditions, including those with considerable depths to bedrock.
Features
- Predicts pressures, horizontal movements, shear forces, and bending moments induced in a pile under lateral loads, bending moments, and soil displacements.
- Models the pile as a series of elastic beam elements.
- Allows users to apply lateral loads or bending moments at any location along the pile.
- Provides options for partial or complete lateral or bending moment restraint at any depth along the pile.
Use Cases
Civil and geotechnical engineers use Oasys Alp as part of their toolbox for routine foundation design. It offers calculations that are difficult to replicate using spreadsheets and ensures validated, robust, and user-friendly calculations to meet QA and QC standards. When used alongside Oasys Pile and Oasys AdSec, it facilitates communication and informed design decisions for geotechnical and structural engineers.
