When sorting by author in the report, I noticed that the unit weight of volume does not match in the first table of the test and the one in ‘Estimation of geotechnical parameters for Test No. ’

The first table shows the PUV values entered in the Data Input section (the user can enter the value or calculate it automatically using the Meyerhof method – right-click and select the option), whereas the GEOTECHNICAL PARAMETER ESTIMATION TEST table shows the data relating to the selected author. For cohesive soils, the values are unique…

Software activation for outdated versions

Hello, The licenses you currently hold are permanent; however, their activation is strictly tied to the computers on which they were originally installed. Specifically, license activation is managed via cloud servers (Google) and requires an active update subscription. Consequently, these older versions are no longer able to communicate correctly with the activation servers. For this…

I have just installed Stratigrapher – Stratigraphic Columns. At start-up I get the error message ‘Screens not installed or in the wrong position’.

The message relates to the presence of the screen textures provided by GeoStru. With the software it is possible to install a library of grids for use in GeoStru software. The library, named Textures, is installed by default in the main installation directory of GeoStru software, i.e. C:/GEOSTRU xxx, in a folder renamed ‘Textures’. In…

I need some clarification regarding the calculation of the reaction modulus Ks, by default the programme uses Bowles’ method, can I have more details?

A distinction must be made between the case where Ks is constant with depth and the case where it is variable.In the former case: Ks=qa/unit subsidence where qa=qult/FS qult=limiting load FS=safety factor (2 or 3 depending on the lithology) In the second instead: Ks=40*(c*Nc+0.5*gamma*B*Ngamma)+40*(gamma*Nq*Z) Nc, Ngamma, Nq e.g. Hansen’s coefficients.
