MODELING
To make one of the tabs appear so as to modify its
parameters, follow the procedure below:
1.
To begin, click on the Foundation Parameters to go over to
the Parameters tab.
2.
The top field is a choice list. Click on the arrow on the right
edge of the field to open the list and select one of the
groups by clicking on it. Notice that the Parameters’ names
are going to change in every other field on the left as well
as in the contents of the values’ fields on the right.
In the following paragraphs, explanations of all parameters are
given. They are divided in groups according to the sequence they
follow on the list.
SOIL
By choosing this group, the Foundation Parameters tab is modified
as shown in figure 38.
•
The parameters included in the SOIL group are the following
1.
Soil Allowable Bearing Pressure (σ) in kg/cm2 for DIN or in
N/cm2 for C.E.B.
2.
Moduls of Subgrade Reaction (Ks) in T/m3 for DIN or in
KN/m3 for C.E.B. This value is used by the programme for
the creation of an elastic ground
3.
Young Moduls of Soil in T/m2 (for DIN) or in KN/m2 (for
C.E.B.)
