Water
The "Water" frame allows, by pressing the button, for selecting the type of water. The selected type with a graphic hint of input values is displayed in the left part of the frame. Water parameters (h1, h2...) can be edited either in the frame by inserting values into input fields, or on the desktop with the help of active dimensions.
The combo list serves to specify whether the influence of uplift pressure of water due to different tables at the foundation joint is considered. The uplift pressure can be assumed to be linear, parabolic, or it may not be considered at all. When verifying the wall, the uplift pressure in the base of footing due to the different water tables is introduced as a special force.
The last option is a manual input of pore pressure both in front and behind the structure. Two tabs "In front of structure" and "Behind structure" appear with tables. The table contains the values of pore pressure in front of the structure or behind it.
The groundwater table can also be specified above the structure or earth profile, respectively - in such a case, the depth of water is input with a negative value.
Analysis of earth pressures with the influence of water is described in the theoretical part of the help, chapter "Influence of water".
The program further allows for specifying a depth of tensile cracks filled with water.
