Analysis According to the Janbu Theory
It is based on principles of nonlinear elastic deformation, where the stress-strain relationship is described by a function of two dimensionless parameters unique for a given soil. The parameters are the exponent j and the Janbu modulus m. Equations describing the settlement are obtained by specifying ε from the definition of deformation modulus Et and by subsequent integration. The program allows the user to compute settlement for the following types of soil:
- Cohesionless soils
- Coarse-grained soil
- Sands and silts
- Overconsolidated sands and silts
- Cohesive soils
- Overconsolidated cohesive soils
