Steel Pipe Pile

Input data for creating a steel pipe pile.

Applicable Modules:

General

Standard

Specify a standard for nominal sizes.

Section

Shape

The available section shapes are as below:

Pipe

Section

Define the section size of the structural element.

Corrosion

Enter the value of pile length affected by corrosion.

Section Data

Section

Specify the cross-sectional dimensions-D and tw. If a Standard is chosen, then the section data is updated automatically.

Stiffness Calculation

Area

Cross-sectional area.  

Ix

Moment of inertia about the local x-axis.

Iy

Moment of inertia about the local y-axis.

Iz

Moment of inertia about the local z-axis.

Zy

Effective shear area in the local y-direction.

Zz

Effective shear area in the local z-direction.

Ry

Radius of gyration about the local y-axis.

Rz

Radius of gyration about the local z-axis.

Material

Material Type

Select material for the selected Element Type and Section Shape. The material properties can be modified under the Material Data tab.

The available material types are as below:

Steel

Material Data

Specify the material properties for the element type. The properties may vary with a change in the shape.

Properties

Modulus of Elasticity

The slope of the stress-strain line for a linear isotropic material.

Poisson’s Ratio

The ratio of the radial (or lateral) strain to the vertical strain.

Unit Weight

The weight of material per unit volume.

Thermal Coefficient

The relative change of a physical property when the temperature is changed by 1 K.
