UniSettle 3.0
An application for the calculation of stress distribution and soil settlement. Stress distribution can be by Boussinesq, Westergaard, and 2:1 methods. Settlement is determined using conventional Cc-e0 approach, E-modulus, or tangent modulus method. Multi-layered soil profile can be entered including pore water gradients. Point, line, circle, triangle, rectangle, and polygon shaped load areas can be used.
UniSettle was specifically developed to assist engineers in performing complete stress and settlement calculations involving complex load combinations and conditions.
UniSettle offers many features and advantages:
- Stress distribution is calculated according to Boussinesq, Westergaard, or 2:1 methods and combines the loading and unloading effects of a multitude of loaded areas.
- The load areas can be subjected to uniform or non-uniform stress distribution.
- The effect of unloading due to excavation can be included with equal ease.
- Changes of groundwater table depth and pore pressure profile can be easily modeled.
- Stresses can be from a combination of point loads, line loads, or from circular, triangular, rectangular, or polygons shape areas.
- Settlement can be calculated by means of cc-e0 method, E-modulus method, or by the Janbu tangent modulus method.
- The soil layers can be preconsolidated as expressed by either a constant or an OCR-value. Preconsolidation can vary within a soil layer.
- Calculate the total settlement at a specific point or the differential settlement between two points arbitrarily selected.
- Produce diagrams showing vertical distribution of stress or settlement.
- Perform calculations in either English or SI-units and convert from one to the other with one keystroke.
- The documentation contains background procedure to stress distribution and settlement calculations. Several examples are presented and solved.
