GRLWEAP Wave Equation Analysis
The GRLWEAP software simulates pile driving prior to actual pile installation using the WAVE Equation numerical analysis technique. It is the most reliable predictor of pile driving stresses, hammer performance, and set per blow versus bearing capacity of a driven pile. With GRLWEAP, you can easily investigate if any hammer can safely drive a certain pile to the desired length and set.
For PDA testing on Bored piles, GRLWEAP analysis is routinely utilized to determine the hammer weight and drop height to be used.
