Displacement of Wall Stem
The Cantilever Wall program allows you to calculate the deformation of the stem. In order for the calculation to be performed, it must be checked in the "Settings" frame. The results are then displayed in the "Verification" frame.
The deformation is displayed for the upper left point of the stem and consists of two parts:
- deformation due to earth pressure (δs)
- deformation due to wall inclination (δb)
The deformation due to earth pressure includes the effect of the pressure at rest and all forces around the stem. The calculation itself is carried out by the finite element method with the inclusion of the section stiffness.
The deformation due to wall inclination is based on the calculation of settlement and total rotation of the foundation.
The total deformation is calculated as the sum of the deformations δs and δb.
