 The FB-Pier v3 program has been replaced by FB-MultiPier v4 and is no longer for sale or renewal. The program files are still available for license holders. Please look into FB-MultiPier - Single Pier w/o Dynamics option for a equilivant replacement.
The FB Pier analysis program is a nonlinear finite element analysis program designed for analyzing bridge pier structures composed of nonlinear pier columns and cap supported on a linear pile cap and nonlinear piles/shafts with nonlinear soil. This analysis program couples nonlinear structural finite element analysis with nonlinear static soil models for axial, lateral and torsional soil behavior to provide a robust system of analysis for coupled bridge pier structures and foundation systems. FB Pier performs the generation of the finite element model internally given the geometric definition of the structure and foundation system as input graphically by the designer. This allows the engineer to work directly with the design parameters and lessens the bookkeeping necessary to create and interpret a model.
