TonyC	Quote Calculate and verify settlements TonyC 2016-07-05 11:34:43 I'm sharing another interesting Technical Support case QUESTION How can I calculate and verify settlements? ANSWER This kind of calculation can be requested by doing the following: 1) open the Calculation Preferences tab under "STRUCTURE DATA" 2) select Foundations 3) activate the check box on Settlement calculation and Slip verifications 4) define and/or customize the various calculation parameters Click on the image to see the details: Settlement. WARNING!!! Before launching the structure calculation please be sure to have verified the geotechnical characteristics of the terrain or the foundation terrain and to have correctly specified the Edometric Modulus and the Elastic Modulus in non-drained conditions. The Elastic Modulus in non-drained conditions, is necessary when the foundation terrain has been defined with a Non-drained cohesion which is different to zero. This can be determined using a dedicated calculation tool. Click HERE to see details.
