TNOWAVE represents a group of wave equation application programs and is a powerful simulation tool to predict pile behaviour. The TNOWAVE applications are suitable for simulating pile-soil interaction under dynamic conditions.
TNOWAVE is based on the one dimensional stress wave theory and allows the modelling of:
- All types of vibratory and impact hammers with anvils and cushions
- Piles with cross sectional variations and cracks
- Tubular steel piles, open ended or closed
- Shaft friction and toe resistance
TNOWAVE applications
TNOWAVE has the following application modules:
- PDPWAVE for impact hammer and vibratory hammer driveability studies
- SITWAVE to determine local pile defects from sonic integrity testing signals by signal matching
- DLTWAVE to determine pile bearing capacity from a dynamic load test by signal matching
