I have a pier foundation that I would like to analyze against axial plus lateral load. I see two options in STAAD Foundation for drilled piers, one in toolkit mode and the other within Plant Mode. Which one should I use ?
The one within the Toolkit mode is only for axial loads. The Drilled/Driven pier option within the Plant mode is equipped to carry out analysis of piers with axial and lateral loads and should be the one you would use for your case.
