If the kerb is sufficiently rigid, it serves to ensure that the piles function as a single block, and as such, since the piles behave in the same way, assuming flat deformations, there are no stresses on the kerb itself (it is permissible to consider the kerb out of the calculation and assign, as the…
For this type of work, the programme performs the geotechnical verifications, provides the stresses but does not perform the structural verifications. The section must be defined with the type Input A,E,I from ARCHIVES/SECTION ARCHIVES.
A possible dimensioning moment can be the product of the maximum reaction of the point/tirant by the half-distance in the horizontal plane of two consecutive points/tirants (possibly amplified with a coeff. of e.g. 1.5).A possible dimensioning cutoff for each of the two calculation directions can be given by the maximum reaction of the possibly amplified…
Yes, the free length contributes to characterising the stiffness of the tie rod.
The default combinations are the minimum static combinations required by the standard, the seismic combination must be added: go to the calculation window, right-click on the construction phase and choose ‘New Seismic’, assign the seismic coefficients to this combination only.The combinations, the two default ones and the seismic combination, are the minimum ones required by…
It is possible to perform a verification calculation on a known penetration depth.For this purpose, the FEM analysis method must be selected and the general FEM data set as specified below:Automatic calculation of the penetration depth: No;Initial penetration depth: coincides with the penetration depth to be verified;Increase of the penetration depth: zero. Select the Apply…
The programme provides the factor of safety as the ratio between the resistance of the tendon (minimum of the three failure mechanisms: yielding of the reinforcement, bulb-soil displacement, reinforcement-mortar displacement) and its reaction, calculated according to the type chosen: active tendon, passive tendon.A minimum length of the free section must also be defined, so that…
The reinforcing element, usually a geotextile, is inserted into the soil to provide increased resistance to sliding along a probable failure surface. It is used to model slopes or reinforced embankments. In Slope, the reinforcement element can be inserted punctually on the geotechnical section thanks to the specific command on the command bar (from Tests-loads-works…
Check that the calculation method chosen is not Fellenius, it is the only one that does not take into account the intervention works.
Check that the section has been defined on the first quadrant of the co-ordinates (avoid negative co-ordinates) or that it does not have a large number of co-ordinate digits, if this is not the case translate the section.
