Excavation

The "Excavation" frame serves to input the depth of a construction ditch and by pressing the button to select the shape of the ditch base. The selected shape with a graphic hint "Chart of parameters" appears in the left part of the frame. The dimensions of a structure can be edited either in the frame by inserting values into input fields, or on the desktop with the help of active dimensions.

The frame also allows for specifying surcharge acting on the ditch base or a thickness of made-up ground of new soil below the ditch base (the soil can be selected from a combo list containing soils inputted in the frame "Soils"). When introducing the made-up ground with brace sheeting it is assumed that there is a sheeted structure in the location of made-up ground, i.e., all pressures are acting on the entire width of a structure as above the construction ditch base.
