Analysis of a Single Pile by the Program GEO Tools

Various problems in geotechnical Engineering can be investigated by the program GEO Tools. The original version of GEO Tools in GEOTEC Office was developed by Prof. M. Kany, Prof. M. El Gendy (1), and Dr. A. El Gendy. After the death of Prof. Kany, Prof. M. El Gendy and Dr. A. El Gendy further developed the program to meet the needs of the practice.

This book describes the procedures and methods available in GEO Tools to analyze the single pile. The methods consider various analysis aspects of the single pile such as linear analysis, nonlinear analysis, half-space soil, and multi-layered soil.

GEO Tools has been developed for analyzing the single pile using:

• Rigid analysis
• Elastic analysis

Many tested examples are presented to verify and illustrate the available methods.
