This program is used to determine vertical settlement and time-dependent consolidation of soils under embankments, foundations, earth dams and surface loads (surcharges). The main features of GEO5 Settlement program are:
- Various theories of settlement analysis (Janbu, Buisman, Soft soil, using the index and coefficient of compression, secondary settlement according to Ladd)
- Generally layered soil environment
- Built-in database of soil parameters
- Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
- Handles successive construction of terrain within one analysis task
- Displays final values of individual variables or their differences from stage to stage
- Reduction of affected zone according to the theory of structural strength, by a percentage of geostatic stress or by incompressible subsoil
- Settlement analysis exploiting the oedometric modulus specified by the oedometric loading curve
- Automatic analysis of settlement and stresses at all important points
- Settlement results for individual berms
- Calculation of settlement depending on time (consolidation)
- Results displayed in colour bands
- Displaying of consolidation coefficient in the graph
- DXF import and export
