GGU-FOOTING: "Analysis options" menu item
A dialog box opens like that for the menu item "File/New". Only the project identification cannot be entered here.
The dialog box has been extended by the group box "Limiting depths in footing analysis diagram", where the type of limiting depth calculation for "Multiple footings" is specified (see "Theoretical principles: Settlement analysis" ). You can read a brief description by pressing the "Info" button.
If the pad footing analysis mode ("Rectangular footing"/"Circular/annular footing") is selected, the "Limiting depths in footing analysis diagram" group box is deactivated. Because the footing stress is specified directly in the menu item "Edit/Footing details" in this analysis mode, calculation of the limiting depth by means of stress variables is not required.
