GRLWEAP is a one-dimensional Wave Equation Analysis program that simulates the pile response to pile driving equipment.

GRLWEAP predicts driving stresses, hammer performance and the relation between pile bearing capacity and net set per blow. It also estimates the total driving time. This allows the user to investigate which hammer is likely to be sufficient and economic for a certain pile and soil condition prior to mobilizing the hammer to the job.

Several codes and standards of practice allow a leaner foundation design - lower factor of safety or higher resistance factor - when Wave Equation Analysis is used instead of Dynamic Formulae.

GRLWEAP 2010 includes driveability analysis, various stroke options for diesel hammers, soil sensitivity analysis, models for parallel or composite piles and four static analysis options. The analysis of battered (driven at an angle) piles has been enhanced in GRLWEAP 2010. When the angle is horizontal, GRLWEAP may be used to simulate the installation of culverts.

GRLWEAP 2010 is available in Standard and Offshore Wave Versions. Find out which version of GRLWEAP is right for you.

GRLWEAP Offshore Wave Version includes exclusive features designed for challenging situations (free riding hammers, non uniform and battered piles) and special analysis options such as fatigue output tables.

GRLWEAP has a very user friendly interface that includes more than 800 preprogrammed hammers, extensive help, and numerous automatic features.
