The settlement is calculated both for SLS- and ULS load cases. Here the acceptable settlement, the security factor γ_Rd with regard to uncertainties in the analysis model and the thickness for each layer that should be a part of the calculation are defined.

Cohesionless soil

By clicking the button More the following can be defined:

Settlement calculation using E-modulus

Settlement calculation using E-modulus Characteristic E-modulus and belonging security factors γ_m are defined for each layer.

Settlement calculation using peak resistance

Characteristic peak resistance value q_ck and belonging security factors γ_m are defined for each layer.

Cohesive soil

By clicking the button More the following can be defined:

For this soil type the calculation is based on results from ödometer trials (See [5] 2.67). Characteristic values for the compression modulus M, the pre consolidation pressure σ and belonging security factors γ_m are defined for each layer.

Medium soil

By clicking the button More the following can be defined:

For this soil type the calculation is based on results from dilatometer trials (See [5] 2.66).

Characteristic values for the compression modulus M and belonging security factors γ_m are defined for each layer.
