GGU-AXPILE: Further EAP examples

A variety of further pile designs can be found in the EAP. The EAP examples below can be found in the example files provided. Analysis was carried out using the lower and the upper table values.

EAP example	Pile type	Page in EAP
B3	Bored pile	274
B4	Pre-cast driven pile	277
B5	Fundex pile	281
B6	Pre-cast driven pile	284
B7	Franki pile (pressure-injected toe)	288

Example 7 demonstrates design of a Franki pile. The design of Franki piles is essentially different to that of normal driven piles. The die characteristic load F(G,k) for permanent and F(Q,k) for changeable loads must be specified. The subsequent analysis then provides the required pile toe volume and the norm-driving work component W (see also “Theoretical principles: Pile design to EAP” Section "Design of Franki piles").
