We are pleased to announce the update of “SO-Foundation”.
According to the users’ feedback, the following capabilities are added to SO-Foundation:
1- UI scaling.
2- The top menu may or may not be displayed.
3- Presentation of custom load-settlement graphs.
By user’s will, a constant value for “quser”, “B” or “L/B” is considered and the calculations are performed for all footings.
4- Excavation effect may or may not be considered in consolidation settlement.
Depending on the excavation effect and the footing type (Spread, Continuous & Mat), there are 3 modes for the calculation of initial effective overburden pressure.
Effective preconsolidation pressure can also be determined by 3 approaches (Auto, P′c & OCR).
As a result, consolidation settlement calculations can be performed by 9 methods.
5- A specified fraction of consolidation settlement will be taken into account by user’s will.
6- Consolidation settlement can be considered for any arbitrary layer (beneath or above the water table).
