Basic Settle 3D Foundations

Explore four stress computation methods: Boussinesq, two-ratio-one, multi-layer, and Westergaard, that estimate settlements and are chosen by soil strata and load type.

Perform a basic settlement analysis in Settle 3D, using general settings, Boussinesq method, and a circular load on clay to visualize 2D and 3D results.

Analyze wind turbine base settlement with the Westergaard method, applying horizontal and vertical loads, visualizing 3D deformed contours and total settlements up to 23 mm.

Perform excavation analysis using 3D soil modeling, groundwater stages, and load patterns; define excavation coordinates, assign material properties, run non-linear consolidation, and interpret deformation contours and settlements.

Analyze embankment settlements across 11 stages using settle three software, configuring sand and clay layers with nonlinear analysis and a stage-wise loading pattern.

Analyze embankment staging to compute settlements at each construction stage from stage one through stage six, using advanced staging, five-meter width extensions, and deformed contours.

Compare settlements across stage seven and stage eight by adding and removing a fourth layer in embankment staging using satellite 3D analysis; reveals load-driven changes in soil strata.

Demonstrate editing embankment stages nine to eleven to remove layers three, two, and one, then observe settlement reductions and permanent deformation as the soil shows no rebound.

Perform settlement analysis for a storage tank on an embankment by configuring time dependent consolidation and groundwater settings, creating 13 stages, and applying a circular load.

Raise the storage tank above the embankment by setting a negative depth in the 3d model, then verify load factors across stages and assign sand soil properties with linear consolidation.

Learn how to assign four soil layers under the embankment—sand fill, silty sand, dense silt sand, and silty clay—and set time dependent consolidation parameters in storage tank analysis part 3.

Learn to perform a 3D settlement analysis for a storage tank on an embankment using auto grid with 500 points and 1.2 expansion, and compare stagewise settlements via query lines.

Perform time dependent consolidation analysis by configuring five stages, groundwater coupling, and nonlinear soil properties, then apply a circular load, monitor settlements with deformed contours, and animate results.
