Oasys Alp is a specialized software developed for civil and geotechnical engineers to analyze the behavior and inform the design of laterally loaded piles. It is a core component of the Oasys Piling Pro and Piling Bundles, providing a validated, robust, and user-friendly method of calculations. Alp is essential for projects where ground conditions are uncertain, variable, and complex, including substantial depths to bedrock.

Features

• Lateral Load Analysis: Predicts pressures, horizontal movements, shear forces, and bending moments in piles subjected to lateral loads, bending moments, and imposed soil displacements.
• Elastic Beam Elements: Models piles as a series of elastic beam elements.
• Non-Linear Winkler Springs: Models soil as non-interactive, non-linear "Winkler type" springs, with options for Elastic-Plastic behavior or specified/generated load-deflection (P-Y) data.
• COM Interface: Allows integration with other software tools, enabling sensitivity analyses and automated outputs for comparison graphs.
• User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive interface for easy navigation and operation.
• Integration with Oasys Tools: Works alongside Oasys Pile and Oasys AdSec for comprehensive geotechnical and structural design.

Benefits

• Validated Methods: Ensures robust and user-friendly calculations meeting QA and QC standards.
• Comprehensive Analysis: Suitable for various soil types and load conditions, providing detailed insights into pile behavior.
• Enhanced Capabilities: When combined with other Oasys tools, it offers comprehensive design and analysis solutions.
• User-Friendly Interface: Easy-to-use software with detailed graphical outputs for better visualization.
• Cost-Effective: Available as part of Oasys Piling Bundle and Geotechnical Suite, offering significant savings compared to individual subscriptions.
