Location of stress at pile during driving from GRLWEAP output

[Shakta]

Wondering where is the location ( say 20' or 10' from the pile top) of maximum stress, a PSC pile would experience during driving. The literature I got so far says that most compression stresses are close to top of the pile where hammer hit the pile, and most tensile stresses are at the middle of pile. Is there any way in GRLWEAP software from which I can see the stress value along the pile?

My understanding is GRLWEAP provide the maximum stress (compression and tension) a pile would experience during driving, and it could be anywhere along the pile when the pile penetration is at certain depth with specific hammer and stroke height. Can someone please enlighten?

GRL WEAP does give the maximum stresses in the pile as the pile tip penetrates deeper but the printout does not say exactly where this stress is located along the pile. Try calling GRL.
