Analysis according to the Janbu theory

It is based on principles of nonlinear elastic deformation, where the stress-strain relationship is described by a function of two dimensionless parameters unique for a given soil. The parameters are the exponent  j and the Janbu modulus m. Equations describing the settlement are obtained by specifying ε from the definition of deformation modulus Et and by subsequent integration. The program allows the user to compute settlement for the following types of soil:

- cohesionless soils

- coarse - grained soil

- sands and silts

- overconsolidated sands and silts

- cohesive soils

- overconsolidated cohesive soils
