    CAPWAP®

    CAPWAP® Signal Matching Software


    The necessary and sufficient analysis software for Dynamic
    Pile Load Testing

    Analytical. Measured. Trusted.


    Forces and velocities occurring at the pile top
    during ram impact are complementary quantities
    related to each other by pile characteristics and
    soil resistance. CAPWAP (Case Pile Wave Analysis
    Program) is a signal matching software program
    that uses such force and velocity data measured by
    the Pile Driving Analyzer® system (PDA) to:
    • Calculate static soil resistance magnitude and
    distribution along the shaft and at the pile toe
    • Calculate stresses at any point along the pile
    • Simulate a static load test in compression and
    tension (uplift)
    CAPWAP Input Screen with Wave-Up Match
    • Predict the instantaneous load displacement
    behavior of the tested pile
    CAPWAP analyzes not only data obtained
    during PDA testing of driven piles, but also
    of drilled shafts or bored piles and augered-
    cast-in-place or continuous flight auger
    piles.

    CAPWAP output includes:


    • Simulated static load vs. pile top and toe
    movement
    • Soil resistance distribution
    • Dynamic forces and stresses along the shaft CAPWAP Standard Output Summary
    • Damping and quake along shaft and at toe
    • Measured and computed forces and velocities
    • Maxima of displacement, velocity and
    transferred energy along the pile CAPWAP offers special tools to analyze
    • CASE Method results Cast-in-Situ and Other Concrete Piles:
    • Optionally residual forces in pile and soil • Variation of wave speed over time
    • Comprehensive report including soil profile and • Calculation and display of modified pile
    driving log models, concrete volume, mechanical
    properties and wave speed
    • Automatic pile impedance adjustment
    CAPWAP® Pile & Soil Model
    CAPWAP models the pile as a series of continuous uniform sections (characteristics model) and the soil
    based on a greatly expanded Smith approach. Pile damping, splices, non-uniformities and multiple pile or
    shaft materials may be represented. The soil resistance is typically lumped into individual resistance forces at
    1 or 2 m intervals with elasto-plastic static, linearly viscous and mass related dynamic properties. Radiation
    damping is represented by an additional mass and dashpot. It is also possible to model up to two additional
    toes, useful for certain non-uniform piles or to approximate a hyperbolic toe resistance behavior. Other
    options include Residual Stress Analysis for end of drive situations and Multiple Blow Analysis to analyze
    restrike tests.
