2 User Guide or FB-Deep F.C. Townsend Intro: FB-Deep (ormerly SHAFT-SPT) is a combination o SHAFT 98, which uses the FHWA O Neill & Reese method or drilled shats and intermediate geomaterials, and SPT97, which is the FDOT version or driven piles. The program is designed such that the SPT boring log only is entered once, and either shats or piles can be analyzed. SPT97 Example SPT 97 Uniorm Sand (N=15) Example Depth N ST Sand ST= t N = 15 blows t x t psc Opening screen Units = English, Type = Pile Unit wt. = 150 pc, Section = Square (psc) Click Insert Pile Single, L=0t, W= Click boring log icon in Toolbar
