NAVFAC Deep Foundation Analysis
Driven pile and drilled shaft axial capacity per NAVFAC DM-7. Code-traceable output with full methodology references — the way federal reviewers expect to see it.
Start Free TrialWhat it does
The NAVFAC Deep Foundations tool calculates axial capacity for driven piles and drilled shafts using the methods published in NAVFAC DM-7. Enter your soil profile and pile geometry — the tool computes skin friction and end bearing by layer and reports total capacity with full methodology references.
Output is formatted as a PDF calculation package, organized the way a federal reviewer expects to see it. Every value traces back to the source equation and input parameters.
NAVFAC DM-7 is the standard for Navy and federal infrastructure projects, and is widely accepted as a reference methodology on civilian projects where a codified approach is required.
Methodology
NAVFAC DM-7.02
Capabilities
- Axial pile capacity per NAVFAC DM-7
- Driven piles (H-pile, pipe pile, concrete)
- Drilled shafts (straight and belled)
- Skin friction calculation by soil layer
- End bearing calculation
- Cohesive and cohesionless soil support
- Compression and tension (uplift) capacity
- Width and bearing-depth sweeps
