GEOSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS GROUND LOSS
GeoStructural Analysis Ground Loss gives you a wide range of tools to evaluate and predict damage to buildings by determining the impact of excavation on the settlement of the affected region of soil. In particular, you can perform risk assessments of the potential for building damage due to tunneling as well as analyze the subsidence trough shape above an excavation.
GeoStructural Analysis Ground Loss helps you prepare contract documents by enabling you to estimate ground movements and thereby provide calculations for use in estimating financial compensation for damage induced by tunneling.
GeoStructural Analysis Ground Loss offers four methods for evaluating possible building damage:
- Tensile failure
- Failure due to settlement trough gradient (slope)
- Relative structure deflection, such as hogging and sagging
- Analysis of selected building sections
Key Features
- Determine settlement, subsidence trough shape, gradient and horizontal strains
- Analyze the subsidence trough shape using Volume Loss, which utilizes experimentally determined parameters based on soil or rock type and excavation method
- Analyze the subsidence trough shape using classical theories (Peck, Limanov, Fazekas) with the ability to account for layered geological profiles
- Estimate the subsidence trough shape (Gauss or Aversin)
- Model multiple tunnel tubes and sequential excavation
- Assess potential for structure damage caused by tunneling
- Analyze the subsidence trough at ground surface or any given depth
- Determine tensile strains and strain gradients
