Soils

The "Soils" frame contains a table with a list of inputted soils. The table also provides information about currently selected soil displayed in the right part of the frame.

Adding (editing) a soil is performed in the "Add (edit) soil" dialog window.

The soil characteristics needed in the program are further specified in the following chapters: "Uplift pressure" and "Settlement analysis". In consolidation analysis the coefficient of permeability or consolidation coefficient must be entered. The input parameters of soils are determined based on the selected theory of analysis in the frame "Analysis methods".

The particular values are obtained from geotechnical survey or from laboratory experiments. If these data are not available, it is possible to exploit built-in database of soils, which contains values of selected characteristics of soils.

The program makes it possible to import soils in the gINT format.
