PDI CAPWAP Brochure

CAPWAP is signal matching software that analyzes force and velocity data measured during pile driving to: 1) Calculate the static soil resistance magnitude and distribution along the pile shaft and at the pile toe. 2) Simulate a static load test to predict the load-displacement behavior of the pile. 3) Provide outputs including the soil resistance profile, dynamic forces and stresses along the pile, and pile properties.
