Rocscience Settle3

Soil Settlement and Consolidation Analysis

Settlement Analysis

Perform soil settlement analysis to analyze immediate settlement, primary consolidation and secondary settlement of embankments, foundations, and surface loads. Easily create soil profiles using RSLog, CPT boreholes with soil classification, or the section creator feature to generate models efficiently.

Ground Improvement

Get more flexibility over ground improvement methods like soil replacement, vibro-compaction, or stone columns, which can be applied to regions with different staging at different depths. Sensitivity analysis is also available for settlement analysis with ground improvement properties such as stiffness, top depth, bottom depth, spacing etc.

CPT Analysis & Liquefaction Analysis

Perform CPT and Liquefaction analysis in conjunction with each other or as standalone modules. CPT analysis results offer 29 different parameter results. Liquefaction results can be calculated based on Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT), or Shear Wave Velocity (VST) data. Various triggering and post triggering methods are also available in Settle3.

Settle3 across Applications

Full flexibility to model your embankments adding cross sections, multiple layers and user-defined staging sequences. Define the shape freely in 2D and extruded in 3D with user-defined end angles.

Apply foundations as loads with flexible or rigid footing. Define various shapes, loads per vertices and staging sequences. Gain the ability to import multiple loads obtained from structural software programs such as SAFE.

Ground improvement regions can be applied with respect to different loading conditions in Settle3. Choose soil replacement, vibro-compaction, or stone columns to design your foundation with ground improvement. Also wick drains and stone column drainage option is available as well for accelerating consolidations in your analysis.

Explore the latest features in Settle3

Have more flexibility in defining soil layer boundaries for 2D soil profile in Settle3 and freely draw soil profile without any limitations. Create models including discontinuous soil layers, sink holes, utility trenches and more. Add further details to your soil profile with drainage conditions between each soil layer.

For CPT analysis, Settle3 provides a standalone feature that allows you to see many different results available in Settle3, including soil classification. The soil classification can now be used to create a soil model for settlement analysis using the section creator feature in Settle3.
