Driven Pile Capacity Calculator

Estimate ultimate axial capacity of driven piles using α-method (skin friction) and end bearing components for cohesive and cohesionless soils per API RP 2GEO.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Estimate ultimate axial capacity of driven piles using α-method (skin friction) and end bearing components for cohesive and cohesionless soils per API RP 2GEO

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Α-method — The α-method recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the driven pile capacity result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the α-method for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Estimate ultimate axial capacity of driven piles using α-method (skin friction) and end bearing components for cohesive and cohesionless soils per API RP 2GEO. Use the driven pile capacity result to inform your clinical assessment.
