 Foundation settlement of triangular and rectangular foundations.

The GGU-SETTLE program allows the calculation of foundation settlement using rectangular or triangular foundations, including mutual influence. The stress distribution at the base of the foundation can change in a linear manner in all directions.

Capabilities:

• Calculation of foundation settlement
• Consideration of mutual influence of neighbouring foundations
• Calculates settlement at any point inside or outside of the foundation
• Calculates settlement at any depth
• Calculates settlement at the base of any horizon
• Calculates settlement of any horizon
• Complete input of system geometry, if desired, using the mouse
• Excavation unloading can be taken into account. With a given excavation unloading, the resulting load re-application can be taken into account with a constrained modulus for load re-application
• Calculation of boundary depth at x% of overburden stress, as a multiple of foundation width, or as a fixed value
• Generation of footing foundations, circular foundations and annular foundations
• Calculation and presentation of settlement depressions
• Calculation and presentation of stress distribution (also as isoline plan = stress bulb)
• Calculation and presentation of lines of equal settlement, in plan or in any vertical section
• Presentation of calculation results in tables
• Presentation of a legend with soil characteristics
• Presentation of a legend with general information on your initial calculation data
• Mini-CAD system, allowing free use of text and other graphic elements in your form
