Load Information
Rectangular shaped footing with XY layout:1)q: Footing pressure 2)B: Footing width 3)L: Footing length 4)Xc: X-coordinate of footing center. 5)Yc: Y-coordinate of footing center 6)ΔX: Increment in X-direction for repeating. 7)ΔY: Increment in Y-direction for repeating 8)Nx: Repeating times in X-direction (=total footings in X direction - 1) 9)Ny: Repeating times in Y-direction (=total footings in Y direction - 1)
The XY layout definition is shown below:
Circular or Ring shaped footing with XY layout: 1)q: Footing pressure 2)Din: Footing inner diameter 3)Dout: Footing outer diameter 4)Xc: X-coordinate of footing center. 5)Yc: Y-coordinate of footing center 6)ΔX: Increment in X-direction for repeating. 7)ΔY: Increment in Y-direction for repeating 8)Nx: Repeating times in X-direction (=total footings in X direction - 1) 9)Ny: Repeating times in Y-direction (=total footings in Y direction - 1)
The XY layout definition is shown below:
Circular or Ring shaped footing with radial layout:1)q: Footing pressure 2)Din: Footing inner diameter 3)Dout: Footing outer diameter 4)Rc: Radius-coordinate of footing center. 5)θc: Angle-coordinate of footing center 6)ΔR: Increment in radius-direction for repeating. 7)Δθ: Increment in rotational-direction for repeating 8)NR: Repeating times in radius-direction (=total footings in radius-direction - 1) 9)Nθ: Repeating times in rotational-direction (=total footings in rotational-direction - 1)
The radial layout definition is shown below:
Line load (Infinite Long):1)q: Footing pressure 2)B: Footing width 3)Xc: X-coordinate of footing center. 4)ΔX: Increment in X-direction for repeating. 5)Nx: Repeating times in X-direction (=total footings in X direction - 1)
Trapezoid shaped load (infinitely long):The trapezoid shaped load function is perfect to calculate the ground settlement resulting from a new levee embankment load. It can also be utilized to calculate the rebound deformation if an existing embankment is removed when the maximum pressure, q, is set as minus. 1)q: Maximum pressure 2)B1: Loading width B1 3)B2: Loading width B2 4)B3: Loading width B3 5)Xc: X-coordinate of footing center. 6)ΔX: Increment in X-direction for repeating (=total footings in X direction - 1) 7)Nx: Repeating times in X-direction
The definition of Trapezoid Shaped load is shown below:
Definition of Trapezoid Type load Point load:1)P: Point load 2)Xc: X-coordinate of footing center. 3)Yc: Y-coordinate of footing center 4)ΔX: Increment in X-direction for repeating. 5)ΔY: Increment in Y-direction for repeating 6)Nx: Repeating times in X-direction (=total point loads in X direction - 1) 7)Ny: Repeating times in Y-direction (=total point loads in Y direction - 1)
Targeting output:Compression deformation is calculated along a cross section defined by two points: Start Point and End Point, and under a specified Depth. 1)Start Point: input the X, Y coordinates and depth for start point 2)End Point: input the X, Y coordinates for end point. The "Depth" at end point is set to equal to the depth of start point by default 3)Number of Divisions: input how many divisions along the section, e.g., if the inputted number is 10, then a total of 11 points (plus the last end point) along the cross section will be calculated. 4)Footing Depth definition - if you calculate for a specific footing, input data for footing depth definition 5)Compacted Fill properties - input parameters to define compacted fill materials. Default values representing a dense sand material are provided.
