The GGU-SETTLE program has the following capabilities:
-
Analysis of foundation settlements according to DIN 4019.
-
Generation of triangular foundations which are combined in a mosaic-like manner in order to model any possible type of loading.
-
Consideration of mutual influence of foundations.
-
Analysis of settlements at any point inside or outside of the foundations.
-
Analysis of settlements at a given depth.
-
Analysis of settlements at a given layer base.
-
Analysis of settlements of individual layers.
-
Analysis of subgrade reaction modulus courses.
-
Complete input of system geometry, if desired, using the mouse.
-
50 soil layers.
-
1000 rectangular foundations or 15,000 triangular foundations.
-
Excavation unloading can be considered.
-
For a given excavation unloading, the constrained modulus for reloading can be considered for the resulting reloading.
-
Limiting depth calculation via x % of the overburden stress or via a multiple of the foundation width or as fixed value.
-
Generation of footing foundations, circular foundations and annular foundations.
-
Calculation and presentation of settlement depressions.
-
Calculation and presentation of stress distributions (also as contour plan = stress bulb).
-
Calculation and presentation of lines of equal settlements in plan and in any desired vertical section.
-
Presentation of calculation results in tables.
-
Presentation of a legend with soil properties.
-
Presentation of a legend with general information on the basis for calculations.
-
Mini-CAD system for free labelling and drawing of graphical elements in the output sheet.
