PileLAT 2014 is a finite-element based program that analyzes the behaviour of single piles mainly under lateral loading based on p-y curves. Various p-y models are provided by PileLAT 2014 for cohesive soils, cohesionless soils and rocks including massive rock (Liang et al. 2009) and calcareous rock. One of the important advantages which PileLAT 2014 has over other pile lateral force analysis software is that it also has the capability of calculating pile settlement under compressive axial loading based on the automatically generated t-z curves along the pile shaft and q-w curve at the pile base.
