Profound TNOWAVE Leaflet Uk

TNOWAVE represents a group of wave equation application programs and is powerful simulation tool to predict pile behaviour. The TNOWAVE applications are suttable for simulating pile oil interaction under dynamic conditions. TNOWAVE is based on the one dimensional stress wave theory and allows the modelling of + Alltypes of vibratory and impact hammers with anvils and cushions + Piles with cross sectional variations and cracks + Tubular stel piles, open ended or closed + Shaft friction and toe resistance Principle of TNOWAVE The TNOWAVE algorithm is based onthe Method of Characteristis.A piles cvided into elements, whch may have different cross sections, The forces caused by shaft friction are srumed to be concentrated atthe boundaries of the element For each element between the set boundaries an analytical solution forthe wave equation i valid The TNOWAVE algorithm has been proven tobe very stable and accurate TNOWAVE Applications TNOWAVE consists of the following application modiles: + PDPWAVE for Impact Hammer and Vibratory Hammer driveability studies + SITWAVE te determine local pile defects from Sonic Integrity Testing signals by signal matching + DITWAVE to determine pile capacity from a Dynamic Load Test by signal matching INOWAVE Applications TNOWAVE e Equation Program fi User interface TNOWAVE AITNOWAVE modules are designed for prafessfonal geotechnical engincers as well as technical practitioners to make pile behaviour predictions and simnsTations Aildimensions and parameters are expressed in engineering units (Slav English). Each module ica powerful program including adigital manual and Help functions with practical examples to assist the user. New users are strongly advised to follow a training course at the Profound Academay. The advantage of the user interface is that the design has been kept simple and logical for the user. The program has ‘three application levels. simple In this caze the program sete default values and many action are performed automatically, Intermediate The user has access to the fundamental parameters of the program and can apply his/her own experience. Advanced The advanced option allows for maximum flexibility and is intended for experienced users, giving them access toa multitude of input parameters and programming options TNOWAVE allows the medelingof al types of vibratory and impact hammers with anit and cuhione-TNOWAVE Modules PDPWAVE for impact hammer Pile Driving Prediction POPWAVE simulates the pile diving process for many combinations of pile diving hammers (ether impact or vibratory), cushions pile types, and soil conditions With the results of PDPWAVE the piling engineer ean + Perform driveability studies + Optimize the selection of the hammer + Select the maximum energy level without damaging the pile + Increase the efficiency of the pile driving equipment + Predict compression and tensile stresses in the pile SITWAVE pile modelling from Sonic integrity Testing signals SITWAVE is used to estimate the dimensions and location of pile defects from SIT signals. in SITWAVE the user builds a model of the pile and the soil using a reference pile from the project. Subsequently the measured signals are compared with the simulated signals and the pile parameters will be automatically adjusted until a good match is abtained. DLIWAVE signal matching for Dynamic Load Testing (DLT) DUTWAVE simulates the dynamic load test obtained with the nals ofa PDA/DLT-systern, Te pile and soil are modeled. nan automatic interactive way soll madel parameters are adjusted, Measured and calculated signals are matched to determine the capacity and the staticload displacement behaviour ofthe pile from the DLT test results.
