Stratigraphy¶

For the analysis of the model, it is necessary to define two layers of material.

A first layer of elevation material, according to which the thrusts are calculated

A second layer of foundation material, according to which the limit load of the foundation is calculated

For both layers, the user must enter the following quantities:

Material name

The name identifying the material

Weight [kN/m³]

The unit weight of the dry material

Saturated Weight [kN/m³]

The unit weight of the saturated material

Fi [°]

Angle of resistance to shearing stress of the soil

C [kN/m²]

Soil cohesion

Delta [°]

Angle of friction on the wall-soil interface

Adhesion [kN/m²]

Wall-soil adhesion
