Overview

Settle3 is a three-dimensional software designed for analyzing vertical settlement and consolidation under surface loads such as foundations, embankments, and surface excavations. It combines the simplicity of one-dimensional analysis with the power and visualization capabilities of more sophisticated three-dimensional programs.

Features and Capabilities

• Settlement Analysis:
  • Performs immediate, primary, and secondary consolidation analyses.
  • Analyzes settlement due to embankments, foundations, and surface loads.
  • Supports time-dependent consolidation analysis.
• Soil Profile Modeling:
  • Allows creation of soil profiles using surface point cloud imports.
  • Integrates with RSLog and CPT boreholes for soil classification.
  • Features a section creator to define soil profiles efficiently.
• Ground Improvement Methods:
  • Supports methods like soil replacement, vibro-compaction, and stone columns.
  • Provides flexibility in staging and depth for ground improvement techniques.
  • Enables sensitivity analysis with adjustable properties such as stiffness, depth, and spacing.
• CPT and Liquefaction Analysis:
  • Performs CPT analysis offering 29 different parameter results.
  • Simulates CPT at any location of interest.
  • Analyzes empirical settlement using CPT points.
  • Conducts liquefaction analysis using SPT, CPT, or VST data, providing triggering and post-triggering methods.
• Integration and Export:
  • Integrates with RSLog for seamless data import.
  • Exports simulated CPT statistics to Excel.
  • Generates charts for CPT, Queries, Ground Improvement, and Liquefaction Analysis for reports.
