A computer code and supporting documentation have been developed to permit analyses of dynamically loaded pile-soil systems. Advanced procedures have been incorporated into the code to enable analyses of cyclic, strain rate, gapping, nonlinear pile diameter and length, and damping (hysteretic, radiation) effects for piles embedded in cohesive and cohesionless soils (including layered profiles). The code has also incorporated standard industry procedures to facilitate highly automated design applications. Verification of the code with field pile load test data has again demonstrated the importance of user specification of soil properties consistent with the empirical bases of the industry procedures.
