Rocscience Settle 3D
Rocscience Settle 3D v2.016 [Size: 28 MB] ... Settle3D is a 3-dimensional program for the
analysis of vertical consolidation and settlement under foundations,
embankments and surface loads. The program combines the simplicity of
one-dimensional analysis with the power and visualization capabilities
of more sophisticated three-dimensional programs.
You can quickly create complex soil profiles and loading conditions,
and view results in 3-dimensions. Modeling can be staged, and
time-dependent consolidation analysis can be performed including primary
and secondary consolidation (creep) at user defined time intervals. A
variety of linear and non-linear material types can be modeled.
Groundwater elevation can be staged and horizontal and vertical drainage
conditions can be specified. Circular, rectangular or polygonal load shapes can be defined with
uniform or variable load magnitudes, and flexible or rigid foundations.
Loading can be staged and applied at any depth (e.g. to simulate piles
or raft foundations). Excavations can be defined and loads applied
within excavated areas. A special embankment designer allows you to
easily define multi-stage layered embankments. Back analysis options
allow you to determine the pre-load fill height or time required to
achieve a given settlement. Settlement, stress and pore pressure are computed throughout the
3-dimensional volume, and results can be contoured along any horizontal
or vertical plane, or plotted along any line. Settlement deformation can
be viewed in 3-dimensions, magnified by a user-defined scale factor.
Data presentation is highly interactive, and contours and graphs are
updated in real time as you change the data type, depth or location.
Results can be exported to Excel with a single mouse click.
