This program is used to determine vertical settlement and time-dependent consolidation of soils under embankments, foundations, earth dams and surface loads (surcharges).
This program is used to determine vertical settlement and time-dependent consolidation of soils under embankments, foundations, earth dams and surface loads (surcharges). The main features of GEO5 Settlement program are:
Various theories of settlement analysis (Janbu, Buisman, Soft soil, using the index and coefficient of compression, secondary settlement according to Ladd)
Generally layered soil environment
Built-in database of soil parameters
Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
Handles successive construction of terrain within one analysis task
Displays final values of individual variables or their differences from stage to stage
Reduction of affected zone according to the theory of structural strength, by a percentage of geostatic stress or by incompressible subsoil
Settlement analysis exploiting the oedometric modulus specified by the oedometric loading curve
Automatic analysis of settlement and stresses at all important points
Settlement results for individual berms
Calculation of settlement depending on time (consolidation)
Results displayed in colour bands
Displaying of consolidation coefficient in the graph
