GGU-SETTLE: Capabilities

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.

  • Free definition of page size.
