GGSD Program Details for VDISP

VDISP

Category	Settlement analysis
Publisher	Oasys Limited
Platform	DOS, Win95/98, WinNT
Status	Commercial
Description	VDISP calculates the vertical settlements (and stresses if required) within a layered elastic soil mass arising from vertical pressure loading applied to rectangular and circular loaded areas. The program predicts the settlement that may arise due to the action of several foundation loads and gives the user an understanding of the settlement pattern likely to arise both beneath and beyond the loaded area being analysed. The program assumes the soil is an elastic half-space when calculating the stress changes within the soil. Individual layer properties are used to calculate the vertical strain and the displacements resulting from these stresses. Features of VDISP include: loaded areas can be superimposed and can be specified to act at different levels; a number of horizontal soil layers may be specified; the base of the bottom layer is assumed to be rigid; a linear variation of modulus with level may be specified for each soil layer; displacements and stresses may be specified for any soil layer; analysis based on the equations of either Boussinesq or Mindlin. An interactive link between VDISP and the Oasys GSA structural analysis package is also available through a separate program (GSRAFT) for soil-structure interaction analysis of raft structures. Also available as part of the Oasys Geo suite.
