Settings
The frame "Settings" allows us to introduce the basic settings of the program, such as standards and theories of analysis, the way of proving the safety of a structure, and individual coefficients of the analysis.
The programs not only contain the pre-defined basic Settings for individual countries, but also allow the user to create user-defined Settings, which can be subsequently used in all GEO5 programs.
The "Select" button allows us to choose an already created setting from the "Settings list".
The "Settings Administrator" button opens the "Administrator" dialog window, which allows for viewing and modifying individual Settings. It is also possible to identify the visible settings in the Settings list. Data in the Settings administrator can also be exported and imported.
The "Add to the administrator" button allows us to create user-defined Settings, which are subsequently added to the Settings administrator.
The "Modify" button enables a quick visualization and editing of the current Setting in the opened program. Modifying any of the parameters changes the title to "Input for the current task". Individual analyses are then performed with this local setting. Should we consider this setting as suitable also for other tasks, we add the setting into the "Settings administrator" by pressing the "Add to the administrator" button.
The "Input for the current task" setting is usually created when importing older data.
In the frame, the construction type is selected:
- standard wall - calculation of the section of a gravity wall made of prefabricated blocks
- wall with reinforcements - calculation of the section of a retaining wall made of prefabricated blocks in combination with geo-reinforcements
- 3D wall - mode for modeling the entire wall, including entering the floor plan and the possibility of calculating individual sections
The frame allows the selection of the "Way of reinforcement calculation" (Standard or German standard EBGEO for tensile or pull-out strength). According to the EBGEO standard, the coefficients of tensile strengthγM and pull-out resistanceγS are entered.
The program allows us to specify a value of the minimum dimensioning pressure (by checking the option "Consider the minimum dimensioning pressure").
Settings of analysis parameters are performed in the "Materials and standards" and "Wall analysis" tabs.
