Phases
In the "Data entry" tab, in the "Phase" group of the main toolbar, the data relating to the project phases can be defined:
The menu for defining or switching between different construction phases is located on the left side of the title bar.
Different construction phases or load states can be defined. In each phase, the data of the water table, the fills and the loads can be modified.
The options available are:
- Water table:
Allows users to modify the water table in a given phase. This option is only available if the water table depth has been previously defined for the first phase. - Infill soil:
Allows users to enter the infill soil above the starting elevation of the wall. This option is only available if the "With infill soil" checkbox has been previously activated in the general soil data. - Backfill soil:
Allows users to enter soil above the starting elevation of the wall. This option is only available if the "With backfill soil" checkbox has been previously activated in the general soil data. - Load increment:
Allows users to enter horizontal loads, vertical loads, or moments at the top of the wall or at a given elevation. - New load on the infill:
Allows users to enter loads applied on the soil or on the infill. These can be surface, strip, line, and point loads. - New load on the backfill:
Allows users to enter loads applied on the soil or on the backfill. These can be surface, strip, line, and point loads. - Edit load:
Allows users to modify any load entered, except for top of wall loads, which have their own option. When the load is modified in a specific phase, it is also automatically modified in the rest of the phases where it exists. - Delete load:
Allows users to delete any load entered, except for top of wall loads, which have their own option. When the load is deleted in a specific phase, it is also automatically deleted in the rest of the phases where it exists.
