GGU-STABILITY: "Artesian" button

If you enter an artesian, you can thus consider confined groundwater systems. For input, select the "Artesian" button and enter the number of polygon points for the confined aquiclude in accordance with the previous description. Then, you must enter the x coordinates of the confined aquifer and the corresponding values for base and top of aquiclude and the water level below the base of the aquiclude.

If a slice foot is above the top of the aquiclude, the pore water pressure will be calculated from the pore water pressure line. If a slice foot is below the base of the aquiclude, the pore water pressure will be calculated from the water level below the base. If a slice foot is between the base and top of the aquiclude, linear interpolation will be carried out.
