The program calculates two thrusts: one in which it considers the upstream face of the wall as the thrust plane, in this case it always considers the ground-wall friction angle. The other, used for global verifies, which has as its thrust plan the ideal one that passes through the upstream extrados of the foundation; in…
Yes, to enter the short-term parameters you need to access the stratigraphy window, set the shear resistance angle equal to zero, report the undrained cohesion on the cohesion column, report on the saturated weight on the P.U.V. column.
Check the value of cohesion, in the calculation of horizontal pressures the software takes into account the cohesive contribution:sh (z) = sv (z) Ka-2cKa ^ 0.5sh (z) = horizontal pressuresv (z) = vertical pressureKa = active thrust coefficientc = cohesion
In addition to the verification of resistance, the program checks the minimum standards normative.
Yes, the program verify on the opening of the slits and on the tensions. It is necessary to create the SLE combination, to create it access the calculation window, position the mouse cursor on the text “Load combination”, from the drop-down menu that appears by clicking on the right button choose the New SLE option.
In the case of a uniformly distributed load, the increase in the horizontal pressure acting on the retaining wall is constant with the depth, the intensity does not vary by varying its position. The horizontal pressure generated by a stripe type overload, on the other hand, varies with depth and position, relative to the coping…
No, in MDC the foundation material cannot be differentiated.
No, in MDC concentrated loads are assigned only on the section of the wall.
Yes, just assign a value less than zero to the height of the embankment (data menu / Terrain depth).
No, the downstream filling does not contributes with the passive thrust but increases theinterlocking of the foundation.
