Adding and editing section

The "New section (Edit section, Inserted section)" dialog window contains the following items:

Type of wall
  • combo list containing individual types of walls to create a sheeting (pile wall, reinforced concrete rectangular wall, sheet pile wall, steel I cross-section, or own generation of desired cross-sectional characteristics
Section length
  • use input field to specify length of sheeting wall or length of a given section of a structure, respectively
Coeff. of reduc. of earth press. below ditch bottom
  • coefficient allowing for computation of braced sheeting (for classical sheeting is set equal to one)
Geometry
  • contains information about geometry for a given structural variant (e.g., for pile wall it contains pile cross-section and spacing of piles, for reinforced concrete wall its thickness, etc.)
Profile
  • contains information about profile for the selected structural variant "Steel I-section" (buttons "Catalog" and "Edit" open the "Rolled section steel profiles", which contains a list of these cross-sections)
Material
  • contains information about material of a given structural variant (e.g., for pile wall it contains a catalog of materials to select the type of concrete, for sheet pile wall the elastic modulus, etc.)
Information
  • contains overview of cross-sectional characteristics of the inputted cross-section – area and moment of inertia are always evaluated for 1m of length in out of plane direction

The "User catalog" button in the bottom part of the window opens the "User catalog" dialog window.
