TLWorkstation code: Version 1. 0. Volume 18: PADLL manual. [Pier Analysis and Design for Lateral Loads]
The high-moment type of foundations addressed by the Pier Analysis and Design for Lateral Loads (PADLL) are generally associated with single-pole structures or longitudinally loaded H-frames. The PADLL program can be used to perform three types of analyses for laterally loaded drilled piers - it computes the: nonlinear load-deflection of load-rotation response of a pier, maximum lateral load which can be resisted by the soil surrounding a pier, and minimum diameter or volume of a pier required to react a set of specified loads. The analytic model employed by PADLL is semiempirical. The program is based on a three-dimensional finite element analysis that was simplified for production use and was modified based on the results of 14 full-scale field tests.
