OpenPile release 0.7.1

Fixed

• maximum resistance in API_clay where Pmax was wrongly calculated based on depth instead of diameter, credits to Zhenghui Qiu for spotting this.

OpenPile version 0.7.0

Added

• Added soil models:
  • openpile.soilmodels.Bothkennar_clay from the PISA joint-industry project
  • corresponding py- mt- Hb- and Mb- curves for Bothkennar clay.

OpenPile version 0.6.0

Added

• added properties to Pile object:
  • openpile.construct.Pile.tip_area and
  • openpile.construct.Pile.tip_footprint
• added soil springs:
  • openpile.utils.py_curves.custom_pisa_sand and openpile.utils.py_curves.custom_pisa_clay
  • openpile.utils.mt_curves.custom_pisa_sand and openpile.utils.mt_curves.custom_pisa_clay
  • openpile.utils.Hb_curves.custom_pisa_sand and openpile.utils.Hb_curves.custom_pisa_clay
  • openpile.utils.Mb_curves.custom_pisa_sand and openpile.utils.Mb_curves.custom_pisa_clay
• added soil models:
  • openpile.soilmodels.Custom_pisa_sand and openpile.soilmodels.Custom_pisa_clay, these models can be used to customise PISA formulations based on external sources, such as an FE model.
• new functions to calculate Dunkirk Sand and Cowden Clay normalized parameters, these functions are in the module: openpile.utils.multipliers and are the following: get_cowden_clay_(..)_norm_param() and get_dunkirk_sand_(..)_norm_param().

OpenPile version 0.5.0

ADDED

• soil spring openpile.utils.py_curves.reese_weakrock
• soil model openpile.soilmodels.Reese_weakrock

OpenPile version 0.4.0

ADDED

• Updates in documentation
• new methods available for openpile.analyze.Result class:
  • new method winkler() replacing simple_winkler_analysis(), the use of the latter triggers a deprecation warning when used.
  • new method beam() replacing simple_beam_analysis(), the use of the latter triggers a deprecation warning when used.
  • new method openpile.analyze.details() that provides summary of an AnalyzeResult object.
• new methods available for openpile.construct.Model class:
  • openpile.construct.Model.get_py_springs()
  • openpile.construct.Model.get_mt_springs()
  • openpile.construct.Model.get_Hb_spring()
  • openpile.construct.Model.get_Mb_spring()
• new feature which allow user to enter a function in place of a float for springs multipliers when creating SoilModel objects. the function must take as input a PositiveFloat representing the depth below ground level, and as output the multiplier that shall be used by the soil spring for this depth.
• new openpile.utils.multipliers module that stores validated functions for use in multipliers in SoilModels objects.

OpenPile version 0.3.3

FIXED

• fixed bug in the kernel when applying base springs.
• clean up some part of the root directory
• fix error in Dunkirk_sand rotational springs

ADDED

• benchmark of Cowden Clay soil model against literature from Byrne et al (2020).
• benchmarked Dunkirk sand soil model against literature from Burd et al (2020).

OpenPile version 0.3.1

FIXED

• fixed bug in openpile.utils.mtcurves.cowden_clay() and openpile.soilmodels.Cowden_clay that was amplifying
  the soil resistance and yielding unrealistic forces in the pile.

ADDED

• new method to retrieve the p-y mobilisation of springs in Results via the .py_mobilization()
• update to the connectivity plot openpile.construct.Model.plot() that adds the soil profile to the plot
  if a soil profile is fed to the model.
• tz- and Qz-curves following the well-known API standards are now included in openpile.utils
• updates to the documentation
• API p-y curves now officially unit tested

OpenPile version 0.2.0

• new Pile constructor openpile.construct.Pile.create_tubular creating a
  circular and hollow steel pile of constant cross section.
• new properties for openpile.construct.Pile: weight and volume
• new openpile.construct.Pile method: set_I() to change the second moment of area of a given pile segment
• new SoilProfile.plot() method to visualize the soil profile
• API sand and API clay curves and models now accept kind instead of Neq arguments to differentiate between
  static and cyclic curves
• create() methods in the construct module are now deprecated and should not be used anymore. Precisely, that is the
  case for openpile. construct.Pile.create() and openpile.construct.Model.create().

OpenPile version 0.1.0

Added

• Construct module with Pile, SoilProfile, Layer, and Model objects
• utils module with py curves
• Analysismodile with simple_beam_analysis() and simple_winkler_analysis()
• Result class that provides the user with plotting and Pandas Dataframe overview of results.
• API clay and sand added to utils module
• PISA sand and clay models (called Dunkirk_sand and Cowden_clay models)
• Rotational springs and base springs (shear and moment), see utils module
• New set of unit tests covering the Construct module, coverage is not 100%.
