Construction Applications

In lotus notes, there is a database called Construction applications. Shouldn't the EPG provide instant access to programs such as Pile.exe. I don't see this in section 702. In fact, I don't see any reference in 702 that would let me know there is a program out there to help compare pile driving equipment or calculate minimum penetrations using a variety of hammers.

Just wanted to bring up 702.1 has a duplicated paragraph.

702.1 "When a pile passes through poor material and its tip penetrates a small distance into a sound stratum of good bearing capacity, it is called a bearing pile. The material which is penetrated may vary all the way from water to materials that would ordinarily serve to support surface footings, but cannot be used because of severe settlement restrictions."
