GGU Slab v6.0
The GGU-SLAB program can analyse slabs using the subgrade reaction modulus and the con-strained modulus methods. The finite-element method using triangle elements is employed tosolve the differential equation. The subgrade modulus profile can be varied as required with al-most no constraints. The constrained modulus distribution can be defined via stratigraphic profilesand an interpolation mesh. This allows any imaginable stratigraphy to be generated.Further important capabilities include:• limiting depth analysis to DIN 4019 for constrained modulus method,• any type of slab boundary including with holes,• linearly variable subgrade within an element,• beam elements for modelling footing beams, for example,• single springs, perpendicular to slab, e.g. for modelling piles.The program system includes a powerful mesh generator and easy-to-use routines for comfortableevaluation of the...
