FOREWORD
Computer program GROUP allows the user to analyze the behavior of pile
groups using either a 2-dimensional model or a 3-dimensional model.
The procedures for analyzing a single pile subjected to lateral loading are
included in GROUP and the user should be familiar with that technology. A
complete discussion of the method of analysis of a single pile under lateral loading
is given in the documentation for LPILE, another program distributed by ENSOFT,
Inc.

1.1 Introduction
Several problems are provided herein as examples of different applications that may be solved
using GROUP 2016. Each example focuses on a particular computational feature of the program. Input
files for each example are automatically copied to the GROUP 2016 directory (examples folder) during
installation. GROUP 2016 allows the user to analyze the pile group either using 2-dimensional model or
using 3-dimensional model. The data files are named 2DexampleN.gp10d, where N represents the
desired example number, for two-dimensional applications.
Example problems provide the user information on input and output of various cases, and
present a quick tutorial for real-world applications. The user is encouraged to study these examples
and, with modifications, may use them to solve similar problems. However, by no means can these
limited examples explore the full functions and features provided by GROUP 2016.
Main features of the examples for two-dimensional analysis included with GROUP 2016 are
summarized in the table below.
Additional application problems will become available electronically at our internet website,
which may be accessed with the following unified resource locator (url):
http://www.ensoftinc.com/
Users may also access ENSOFT, INC.'s website to observe responses to commonly asked
questions related to the GROUP 2016 program.
The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the center of the pile cap and leveled with the
pile tops (Figure 1.1). The loads are applied at the global origin of coordinates.
The soil consists of submerged dense sand. Two sets of p-y curves are inputted. In the first set,
a modification factor of 0.73 was applied to consider the effect of the out-battered piles of subgroup #2.
The example model has a user-specified curve of axial load versus displacement that was
obtained from a previous experiment performed in a test tank. The input and output files for the
example problem are shown in the following pages.
The contents of the input and output files (for this and all the examples) are reproduced using
the courier font for distinction.

1.2.7 Graphs
Figure 1.2 Curves Deflection vs. Distance for Example Problem 1 - 2D.
Figure 1.3 Curves Moment vs. Distance for Example Problem 1 - 2D.
The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the center of the pile cap and at the top of a
bent which is located 38.5 ft (462 in) above the origin of global coordinates.
Moment = 0
The general section property of the prestressed concrete pile is shown in Figure 1.5. The
compressive strength of the concrete is assumed to be 6,000 psi. The moment of inertia of the section
is 8,600 in4. The Young's modulus of the concrete is 4.44 x 106 psi. In this case the pile is regarded as
linearly elastic throughout, with the assumption that maximum stress in the pile is always in the elastic
range.
Theoretical lateral soil-resistance curves are internally generated by the program. The soil is
submerged soft clay with properties shown in Figure 1.4. For the example, the contribution of the top 5
ft is neglected by defining a soft clay layer with very low resistance (c=0.001 psi). Note that no
modifications of the p-y curves has been made in this example for the pile-batter effect. The curve of
axial load versus pile-top displacement used in this example is shown in Figure 1.6.
This example problem includes a printout of p-y curves internally generated by the program for
pile subgroup 1 at the depths of 180 in, 252 in, 360 in and 1116 in below the origin of coordinates that
correspond to 60 in, 132 in, 240 in and 996 in below the ground line. This curves are printed out for
verification purposes. The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following

Figure 1.9 Internally Generated p-y Curves for Example Problem 2 - 2D.
This example serves the purpose of demonstrating the various input/outputs in the program.
Users may find it helpful if there are uncertainties for the input parameters.
The loads and the geometric configuration of the foundation in this example are the same as
those in Example 2 - 2D. In this example, subgroups 1 and 4 have pile tops which are elastically
restrained instead of fixed to the pile cap. Rotational stiffness of the springs is assumed to be 5.5 x 106
lbs-in/rad. Two curves of axial versus displacement and two types of piles are used. Pile type 1 has the
same dimensions and properties as those in Example 2 - 2D. Pile type 2 has two uniform sections. From
0 to 500 in the pile has the same dimensions as pile type 1. From 500 to 1116 in, the diameter of pile is
reduced to 9 in, the moment of inertia is equal to 538 in4, and the area of the cross section is 81 in2.
A distributed load curve is used to represent loads applied along the piles.
The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

Figure 1.11 Curves Moment vs. Distance for Example Problem 3 - 2D.
The geometrical configuration of Example Problem 4 - 2D, shown in Figure 1.12, shows a pile-
supported retaining wall with the piles spaced 3 feet apart. The piles are 14 inches in outside diameter
with 4-No 7 reinforcement-steel bars spaced equally. The center of the bars are on a 8-inch circle. The
yield strength of the reinforcing steel is 60 ksi and the compressive strength of the concrete is 2.67 ksi.
The length of the piles is 40 feet.
The backfill is a free-draining, granular soil without any fine particles. The surface of the backfill
is treated to facilitate a runoff, and weep holes are provided so that water will not collect behind the
wall.
The forces P1, P2, PS and PW (shown in Figure 1.12) were estimated as follows: 21.4, 4.6, 18.4 and
22.5 kips, respectively. The equivalent load at the origin of coordinates is FX=45.5 kips, FY=21.4 kips and
MZ=-33.5 ft-kips.
The subsurface soils at the site consist of silty clay. The water content averaged 20% in the top
10 feet. The water table was reported to be at depth of 10 feet. There was a considerable range in the
undrained shear strength of the clay and an average value of 3 ksf was used in the analysis. A value of
the submerged unit weight of 46 pcf was employed, and the value of 50 was estimated to be 0.005. The
axial load versus displacement curve is shown in Figure 1.13.
In making the computations, the assumption was made that all the load by the piles with none
of the load taken by passive earth pressure or by the base of the footing. It was further assumed that
the pile heads were free to rotate.
The computed load in the piles is shown in Figure 1.14. The following check is made to see that
the equilibrium equation are satisfied.
The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

This example is included to show the use of the program for pile subgroups distributed in a
circular configuration (Figure 1.19). Circular pile groups are, in general, used for offshore structures.
There are 8 piles in each leg and 4-subgroups are employed for two-dimensional analysis. The pile
dimensions and geometry of each pile are given in Figure 1.19. Each steel pile is 150 meters in length,
and a total of 140 meters penetrates the seabed. The soil at the site is medium dense sand with an
internal friction angle of 38 to 40 degrees. The submerged soil density is approximately 9.5 kN/m3.

Figure 1.23 Curves Deflection vs. Distance for Example Problem 6 - 2D.
Figure 1.24 Internally Generated curves of Axial Load vs. Displacement for Example Problem 6 - 2D.
This example is included to show the use of the program to compute the data for foundation
stiffness (flexibility matrix components) of the pile foundation, which may be needed for the
superstructure analysis. Figure 1.25 shows a 3 by 3 pile group with the pile cap, which is below the
existing ground surface. The piles are 30 inches in diameter and 50 feet in length. The piles are closely
spaced with the center to center spacing equal to 3 pile diameters. The soil is stiff clay, and group
reduction factors on piles are generated internally by the program.
It should be noted that the origin (0,0) is set 5 feet below the ground surface(Figure 1.25 );
therefore, the top of the ground surface has the coordinate of -60 inches for the input. The program
divides the loadings into 10 increments and computes the pile cap response for each individual loading
to estimate the data for foundation stiffness. The different components of the foundation stiffness
matrix can be estimated from the flexibility components.

For an embedded pile cap, the lateral soil resistance on the pile cap may be considered in the
analysis, as discussed in Chapter 8 of the Technical Manual. This example is included to illustrate the
use of the program to compute the resistance of the embedded pile cap. Figure 1.33 shows a 3 by 2 pile
group with the pile cap, which is 1 foot below the existing ground surface. The user must specify the
dimensions of the pile cap when soil resistance is considered.
The pile cap for this example is 16 feet by 10 feet by 2 feet, as shown in Figure 1.33. The piles
are 24 inches in diameter and 37 feet in length. The piles are closely spaced with the center to center
spacing equal to 3 pile diameters. The subsurface consists of a layer of stiff clay underlain by soft clay
and medium dense sand. The group reduction factors on closely spaced piles are generated internally
by the program.
It should be noted that the origin of coordinates (0,0) is set at the top of the pile cap (1 foot
below the ground surface), therefore, the top of the ground surface has the coordinate of -12 inches.
The vertical coordinate at the pile head is 24 inches below the origin (downward is positive).
Also, this example shows the use of the program to compute the foundation stiffness matrix of
the pile foundation, which may be needed for the superstructure analysis
The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

2.1 Introduction
Main features of the examples for two-dimensional analysis included with GROUP are
summarized in the table below.
Additional application problems will become available electronically at our internet website,
which may be accessed with the following unified resource locator (url):
http://www.ensoftinc.com/
Users may also access ENSOFT, INC.'s website to observe responses to commonly asked
questions related to the GROUP program.
The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the center of the pile cap and at the top of a
bent which is located 38.5 ft (462 in) above the origin of global coordinates.
Moment = 0
The general section properties of the prestressed concrete pile is shown in Figure 2.2. The
compressive strength of the concrete is assumed to be 6,000 psi. The moment of inertia of the section
is 8,600 in4. The Young's modulus of the concrete is 4.44 x 106 psi. In this case the pile is regarded as
linearly elastic throughout, with the assumption that maximum stress in the pile is always in the elastic
range.
Theoretical lateral soil-resistance curves are internally generated by the program. The soil is
submerged soft clay with properties shown in Figure 2.3. For the example, the contribution of the top 5
ft is neglected by defining a soft clay layer with very low resistance (c=0.001 psi). Note that no
modifications of the p-y curves has been made in this example for the pile-batter effect. The curve of
axial load versus pile-top displacement used in this example is shown in Figure 1.6.
This example problem includes a printout of p-y curves internally generated by the program for
pile subgroup 1 at the depths of 180 in, 252 in, 360 in and 1116 in below the origin of coordinates that
correspond to 60 in, 132 in, 240 in and 996 in below the ground line. These curves are printed out for
verification purposes. The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following
pages.

Figure 2.5 Curves Resultant Moment vs. Distance for Example Problem 1 - 3D.
This example serves the purpose of demonstrating the pile group subjected to lateral forces
from both longitudinal and transverse directions. The pile group consists of four drilled shafts of 36
inches in diameter that are arranged un-symmetrically with respect to the pile cap because one pile was
installed with a batter angle accidentally. The center to center spacing is 3 pile diameters. These piles
are rigidly connected to the pile cap. The group of piles is subjected to loads applied at the bottom of
the pile cap.The global origin of coordinates is set at the point of application of loads.
The subsurface layers consist of 15 ft of soft clay (c = 4 psi, 50 = 0.02) underlain by 20 ft stiff clay
(c = 16 psi, 50 = 0.005) A layer of dense sand with an internal friction angle of 38 degrees is encountered
at depths of 35 ft to 70 ft below the ground surface. This example asks the program to generate the
curves of axial load versus displacement, torque versus rotation, and p-y curves internally.
The Y-direction is defined as longitudinal direction and the Z-direction is defined as the
transversed direction. The component forces on the pile cap are: 600 kips at the X direction
(downward), 75 kips at the Y direction (lateral), 50 kips at the Z direction (lateral), a moment of 2000 ft-
kips on the XY plane, and moment of 1000 ft-kips on the XZ plane.
The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

Figure 2.8 Curves Resultant Moment vs. Distance for Example Problem 2 - 3D.
This example uses the same pile properties and soil data presented in Example Problem 2 - 3D,
except that the model has only torsional force applied at the top of the pile cap. The local axis y for the
piles is oriented tangentially and the local axis z is oriented toward the center of the pile cap. The
torque of 9000 in-kips is applied at the center of the pile cap.
The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.
The results indicates that each pile takes 29.5 kips on shear on the tangential direction (local y
axes) and 0 kips on the radial direction (z axis). The following check is made to see that the equilibrium
equation is satisfied for pile heads with the pin connection.

Figure 2.14 Curves Resultant Moment vs. Distance for Example Problem 4 - 3D.
This example problem is used to illustrate a pile group with 5 piles arranged in a diamond shape
as shown in Figure 2.15. The soil at the site is soft clay with a cohesive strength that increases linearly
from 5.2 psi at the ground surface to 10.4 psi at 100 feet. The maximum load-transfer in skin friction for
axial loads is estimated to be 5.2 psi at the top and 8 psi near the pile tip. All piles are steel pipe piles
with 10.75 inches outer diameter and 10.,02 inches inner diameter. The connection between the pile
and the pile cap is rigid for all the piles.
The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

Figure 2.16 Curves Resultant Deflection vs. Distance for Example Problem 5 - 3D.
Figure 2.17 Internally Generated curves of Axial Load vs Displacement for Example Problem 5 - 3D.
This example is included to show the use of 3-dimensional analysis for a pile group distributed in
a circular configuration (Figure 2.18). The same problem was also presented in Chapter 5 based on 2
dimensional analysis.
Circular pile groups are, in general, used for offshore structures. There are 8 piles in each leg
that are employed for three-dimensional analysis. The pile dimensions and geometry of each pile are
given in Figure 2.18. Each steel pile is 150 meters in length, and a total of 140 meters penetrates the
seabed. The soil at the site is medium dense sand with an internal friction angle of 38 to 40 degrees.
The submerged soil density is approximately 9.5 kN/m3.
The input and output files for the example problem are shown in the following pages.

4.1 Introduction
The analyses performed in GROUP involve iterations because of the nonlinearities of the
formulation. In general, we recommend to check the solution obtained by the program, so the results
are consistent with the input provided.
Sometimes the program may get a numerical error or lack of convergence; however, there is no a
unique solution to avoid that issue, each case is a different story. In general, we recommend to check
the consistency of the input data. Also, you can take a look at the Echo Print File, Output File and
Processor Run Notes File, which may include some Warning or Error Messages that may help the user to
figure out what is the reason of the lack of solution.
In order to provide some ideas for troubleshooting of models we are including a set of examples.
This set does not include all the possible cases, but provide a good idea on how to troubleshoot a model.
Main features of the sample models for troubleshooting included with GROUP are summarized in the
table below.
A pile group consisting of three piles aligned, that is subjected to a vertical load and a lateral
load in the direction of the alignment. The geometric configuration is presented in Figure 4.1 Figure 3.1.
The connection between the piles heads and the piles are defined as pinned.
4.2.2 Discussion
Running the analysis, the program found a numerical error and looking at the Processors Run
Notes the warning message DETERMINANT OF STIFFNESS MATRIX IS ZERO shows up.
Figure 4.3 Processor Run Notes file for Example Model 1a - TB.
The error indicates that the structure is unstable. For this model the lack of stability is due to
the fact that the model does not have any rotational stiffness along the alignment of the piles because
all the piles are aligned and all of them have pinned connection, so the pile cap can rotate freely without
any restriction. Even though there is no acting load in the rotational direction along the alignments (My)
the system is unstable and cannot get solution.
Kryry=0
So, in order to analyze this model the structure needs to be stable. So, in order to maintain the
alignment of the piles, the connection between the pile cap can the pile heads must be fixed. After
making the correction the model is stable and the program can get a solution.
Figure 4.5 Change the connection to Fixed for Example Model 1b - TB.
A pile group consisting of four piles, which is subjected to a lateral load. The geometric
configuration is presented in Figure 4.7Figure 3.1.
4.3.2 Discussion
Running the analysis, the program found a numerical error and looking at the Processors Run
Notes the warning message SOME PILES REACHED MAXIMUM IN PULLOUT shows up.
Figure 4.9 Processor Run Notes file for Example Model 2a - TB.
The error indicates that axial load in bearing (and pullout) for some piles have reached the
maximum defined in the load settlement curve. This warning message can be displayed not only for the
load displacement curve generated by the program but also for the user-defined load displacement
curve. To verify if this is the case a new analysis with a reduced load must be performed. The level of
axial produced by the program is not known, so a trial an error procedure may be needed to verify this
behavior.
Looking at the load displacement curve generated by the program, it can be noticed that the
capacity (both compression and pullout) is in the order of 150000 lbs.
The demand for axial forces can be extracted from the Summary Results file. At 80% of the load
the axial load demanded is 133000 lbs. So at 100% of the load the demand could be 166000 lbs. that
exceed the axial capacity of the pile.
If the user consider that the program is under estimating the axial capacity, the user can enter
its own load displacement capacity to be used for the analysis.
In any case to overcome this issue, the user may need to increase the section dimensions of the
piles, the pile length, increase the number of piles or change the pile configuration to have a system
capable to resist the original loads applied.
A pile group consisting of four piles, which is subjected to a lateral load. The geometric
configuration is presented in Figure 4.7Figure 3.1.
4.4.2 Discussion
Running the analysis, the program found a numerical error and looking at the Processors Run
Notes the warning message SOME PILES REACHED MAXIMUM IN PULLOUT shows up.
Figure 4.15 Processor Run Notes file for Example Model 3a - TB.
The error indicates that axial load in bearing (and pullout) for some piles have reached the
maximum defined in the load settlement curve. This warning message can be generated also due to a
large displacements of the pile group, so the axial displacements become very large and trigger the
warning message. To verify the source of the error a new analysis with a reduced load must be
performed. The level of load needed to trigger the error is not known, so a trial an error procedure may
be needed to verify this behavior.
Looking at the load displacement curve generated by the program, it can be noticed that the
capacity (both compression and pullout) is in the order of 850000 lbs.
The demand for axial forces can be extracted using the Pile Cap Response Option from the Show
3D-View Window. At 50% of the load the axial load demanded is 199500 lbs. So at 100% of the load the
demand could be 399000 lbs. that is below the axial capacity of the piles.
Now, looking at the lateral deflection, we can notice that at 50% of the load the displacement is
getting large, about 14 in, so at 100% of the load the displacement could be higher than 28 in..
Now, looking at the lateral soil reaction, we can notice that at 50% of the load the maximum
reaction is about 580 lbs/in at 15 ft.
Now, looking at the lateral p-y curves we can notice that the maximum soil reaction at 15ft is
about 580 lbs/in that is closer to the demanded soil reaction at 50% of the load. So, it can be inferred
that the pile group is not capable to take 100% of the load because it would exceed its lateral capacity.
In any case to overcome this issue, the user may need to increase the section dimensions of the
piles, increase the number of piles or change the pile configuration to have a system capable to resist
the original loads applied.
A pile group consisting of 10 piles, which is subjected to a vertical load, a lateral load and a
moment. The geometric configuration is presented in Figure 4.22Figure 3.1.
4.5.2 Discussion
Running the analysis, the program cannot get convergence and looking at the Processors Run
Notes the warning message NO CLOSURE OF LLP AFTER 200 ITERATIONS.
Figure 4.24 Processor Run Notes file for Example Model 4a - TB.
The error indicates that the lateral analysis of some piles cannot achieve convergence, so the
program quits and stops the analysis. One of the reasons of not achieving convergence under lateral
loading is that buckling may be occurring in some piles. Actually, the program does not have an option
to compute the buckling load; however buckling may be infer by a series of analysis increasing the load
and looking at the results.
So, in order to check if the lack of convergence in this model may be due to buckling 5 load cases
are considered. Each load case is scaled using a factor. For the new model, the scaled factor are: 0.20,
0.3, 0.35, 0.36 and 0.364. Please note that this values were obtained from a trial and error procedure.
As we can note in the displacements versus depth graph, the increase in displacements is
significant compared with the increase on the load. So, it can be inferred that buckling may be occurring
in some of the piles for this model.
To overcome this issue, the user may need to increase the section dimensions of the piles or
increase the number of piles in order to have a system capable to resist the original loads applied.
5.1 Introduction
GROUP allows importing a pile group layout and loading from an excel file. Also the program can
export the pile layout and loading to an excel file. In order to help the users understand the process, a
couple of models are included with the corresponding excel templates. There is no further explanation
provided regarding the importing from excel procedure. The user is encouraged to look over the
templates before importing more complicated layouts and loading
Main features of the sample models for import/export to excel included in GROUP are
summarized in the table below.
