Geotechnical calculation software FEM

analysisfor concrete structuresfor steel structures

This program, based on the finite element method, can model and analyze a wide range of geotechnical problems, including terrain settlement, sheet pile/diaphragm walls, slope stability, excavation analysis. It offers several material models for soils and a variety of structural elements such as walls, anchors, geotextiles or geogrids. The GEO5 FEM is used to compute displacements, internal forces in structural elements, stresses and strains and plastic zones in the soil and other quantities in every construction stage. With extension modules the program also performs the Tunnel excavation analysis, the steady sate or transient Water Flow analysis or the coupled Consolidation analysis. Main Features Variety of conventional and state-of-the-art material models: Linear elastic model Modified elastic model Mohr-Coulomb model Modified Mohr-Coulomb model with hardening/softening Drucker-Prager model Cam Clay model Hypoplastic model for clay Wide range of common structural elements: Concrete walls, pile walls, soldier pile walls (Braced Sheeting) or reinforced tunnel lining are modeled by the beam elements with catalogued profiles and materials Anchors Nails Props Reinforcements (geotextiles, geogrids) Contacts elements between soil and structure with nonlinear stress-displacement relation The model consists of several construction stages to account for the construction process Any number of surcharges (strip, trapezoidal, line load) can be added to the model in any construction stage Boundary conditions are generated either automatically or defined specifically for chosen points or lines
