GGU-LATPILE: Soil properties
Up to 50 soil layers can be taken into consideration. For each layer the following parameters must be given:
depth in metres below top of the wall, or absolute depth,
unit weight [kN/m³] of moist soil γ,
unit weight [kN/m³] of buoyant soil γ',
friction angle [°],
cohesion (active and passive) [kN/m²],
active angle of wall friction as the ratio δa/φ,
passive angle of wall friction δp/φ,
cone resistance from CPT qc or cone resistance qb,k,
shear strength of the undrained soil cu,k or skin friction qs,k.
If you activate the "Differentiate active + passive soil properties" check box in the dialog box in "File/New" or "Editor 1/Analysis options", you can enter differing friction angles and unit weights for the active and the passive sides.
To analyse the vertical capacity to EAU, EAB and EAP, enter the cone resistance qc and the shear strength of the undrained soil cu,k. When using empirical data, enter the values for qb,k and qs,k instead of qc and cu,k.
If you are already working with GGU-CONNECT, you can also import soil properties from your subsoil layer model that you have created in GGU-CONNECT.
Further explanations can be found under the menu item “Editor 1 / Soils”.
