3D Ground Model
- Homogenous soil layers with freely chosen polygonal boundaries
- Definition of boreholes for fast input of soil layer geometry
- Terrain, groundwater table and bedrock defined as surface in 3D
- Fast input of surfaces by defining fix points and isolines in the ground plan
- Comprehensive visualization capabilities in 2D and 3D

3D Ground Model
|
Integration Platform
- Generation of a 2D-analysis (options G, S, N and M) from a vertical section
- Terrain, groundwater table, excavation wall and soil layers in the 2D-analysis are taken from the 3D model
- Easy management of multiple 2D-analysis within a single 3D project

Settlement Calculations
- Calculation of terrain and foundation settlements within a selected domain
Analysis model
- 3D analysis kernel based on classical methods of geotechnics
- Developed for practicing engineers (no expertise in nonlinear FE analysis required!)
- Input of mechanical properties of the soil is reduced to one parameter (Modulus of subgrade reaction)
- Stress distribution according to the elastic half space theory
- Calculation of stresses and strains due to vertical loading
Foundations
- Rectangular isolated footings
- Piles with or w/o skin friction/base resistance: input of the load-settlement
diagram (e.g. from a vertical load test)
- Raft foundation (bottom slab) with general geometry 1)
- Automatic modelling of foundation element interaction (e.g. group of piles)
- Excavations (incl. excavation walls)
Loadings
- Distributed vertical terrain load
- Single load on terrain
- Vertical Load on pile
- Vertical load on footing
- Vertical load on bottom slab1)
Results
- Vertical soil stress: graphical output in 2D sections
- Settlement of terrain: graphical output in ground plan
- Settlement in soil body: graphical output in 2D sections
- Pile forces and settlements: graphical and numerical output
- Displacements/settlements of footings and bottom slabs: graphical output in ground plan
- Soil pressure from footings and bottom slabs: graphical output in ground plan
- All graphics as isoline or color intensity plots
- 2D and 3D views of result plots
- Printing of graphical and numerical output

Soil-Structure-Interaction 1)
- Nonlinear modelling of interaction between building and soil,
implemented in conjunction with CEDRUS
- Analysis and Design of RC bottom slab
- Supported foundation types of a slab: raft, pile or combined piled raft foundation
- Import building data from CEDRUS (i.e. bottom slabs, pile locations, slab loadings)
- Input of foundation type and calculation of settlements and soil pressures in LARIX
- Export of foundation to CEDRUS (i.e. bedding of slabs, piles)
