Description
11
Input data for maximum skin friction as a function of depth
NCC
Total number of maximum skin friction terms to input, <12; program interpolates maximum skin friction
between depths
11a
FS(N)
Maximum skin friction f-, for point N, psf
11b
ZEPP(N)
Depth for the maximum skin friction for point N, ft
11c
NCUR
Number of the shaft load-transfer curve input M in line 10; applicable to the maximum skin
friction for point N (Repeat 11a, 11b, 11c for each N = 1,NCC)
12
Input data for shaft elastic modulus as function of depth; program interpolates the elastic modulus between
depths
NC
Total number of terms of elastic modulus and depth, > 1
12a
EP(M)
Elastic modulus of shaft at point M, psf
12b
ZEP(M)
Depth for the elastic modulus of shaft at point M, ft (An elastic modulus and depth term are required at
least at the top and bottom of the shaft)
13
Input data for base displacements if K = 6 (The number of input terms or R(M) and S(M) equals IJ -1,
line 2
13a
R(M)
Base displacement, in. (The first displacement is 0.0 inches and already input in the program)
13b
S(M)
Base load for displacement R(M), pounds; the base load for 0.0 displacement is approximated as the
overlying soil weight and already input in the program
14
Structural load, pressure on adjacent soil at the ground surface, and depth of the active zone for heave
input for each problem for evaluation of specific load distribution-placement computations
14a
STRUC
Structural vertical load on top of shaft, pounds
14b
SOILP
Pressure on top layer on soil exerted by surrounding structure, fill, etc., psf
14c
XA
Depth of the active zone for heave, ft; = 0.01 yields load-displacement behavior for zero soil movement; a
saturated soil profile is assumed when comp uting soils movement; < 0.0 program goes to line 15 below
15
NON
Execution stops if 0; program goes to line 1 if > 0
