This Spreadsheet computes the dynamic settlement of soil layers above the GWT.
If you have any questions, email us. The program will be emailed to you once the payment is processed. The program is sold as is. We will of course be glad to answer any technical questions you have regarding inputs and outputs for the first 90 days after the purchase. Attractively priced at US $75.
After an earthquake, regardless of whether a soil profile liquifies or not, the soils above and below ground water table experience a seismic compression or sometimes called dynamic settlement. The calculation of dynamic soil settlement below the GWT is very straightforword. However, the dynamic settlement above the GWT is very tedious and complex.
This spreadsheet will compute this seismic compression in just few minutes.
Seismic Settlement (Compression ) above the ground water table
Foundation Design Spreadsheets-5 Geotechnical Spreadsheets
Due to popular demand, SoilStructure.com is selling five foundation design spreadsheets as a bundle. They are: Bearing capacity of Soils, Settlement of continuous footings(wall footings) in cohesive soils, Settlement of square footings (column footings or mat foundation) in cohesive soils, Settlement of circular (column) footings in cohesivesoils, and capacity of driven concrete pile in granular soils. They cost only US $25.95. + shipping.
Geohnical
engineering spreadsheets-5 Foundation Design programs along with a 10 page
program manual is available. The programs consist of:
1) Bearing capacity (considers soils data, footing geometry and
structural loadings)-This program works in fps or si units and as an added
bonus also outputs geotechnical criteria for the design of retaining
walls. I use it every week. It can handle continuous footings,
rectangular, square and circular footings. It can handle biaxial moments,
lateral loads and vertical loads. It incorporates GWT level as
well. This spreadsheet alone is worth more than $25.
2) Settlement of continuous footings(wall footings) in cohesive
soils(clays or plastic silts). No more hand calculations of
settlement of soils and associated time consumption. The bousinnesq
stress distribution is assumed(more conservative) for all the settlement
programs. output is the settlement of the continuous footings up to a
depth of 3B below the base of the footings.
3) Settlement of square footings in cohesive soils-similar to program 2)
but this program is for column footings. It is also applicable to
settlement of Mat footings on cohesive soils. By using program 2 and 3,
the engineer can quickly size the footings for equal settlements and reduce the
differential settlement aspect of a building foundation design.
4) Settlement of circular (column) footings in cohesive soils.
This program is ideal either for computing settlement of round column footings,
settlement of tank foundations, and settlement of circular mat or Raft
foundations in cohesive soils.
5) Geotechnical capacity of driven concrete piles in cohesionless soils.
this program is ideal for either prestressed concrete pile or reinforced
concrete pile capacity. You can input width or diameter of the pile,
desired lengths and soil properties. The spreadsheet outputs both the
compression and tension capacity. worksheet 2 has a chart which can be
used for plotting pile capacity vs depth for 3 different pile sizes.
Programs are sold as is and no refunds is available.
The 5 programs along with the examples manual will be mailed to
you within 24 hrs in a USB Flash drive with BONUS notes!
SoilStructure.com is commited to providing educational materials to a global audience. These geotechnical spreadsheets save a lot of time but are intended for experienced engineers. The risk of using the spreadsheets lie with the end user. For obvious reasons, these foundation design spreadsheets are non refundable and are sold as is.
