Used to input load, factors of safety and resistance parameters.

SettingDescription
Axial Load

Load along axial direction, in the selected units.

Note: A positive value indicates a compressive force and a negative value indicates an uplift force.
End bearing

Factor of safety for base resistance.

Skin Friction

Factor of safety for side resistance.

Tip Resistance for Axial Capacity

Percentage of base resistance (end bearing) force to be considered in axial capacity.

Skin Resistance for Axial Capacity

Percentage of the maximum skin friction that is being developed as a function of downward deflection of the pile, where that downward deflection has been normalized to units of "pile diameters".
