GGU-SETTLE: General notes on triangular foundations

The "Triangular foundations" menu appears if the appropriate selection has been made in the "File/New" menu item. With this, it is possible to calculate settlements and stresses below a flexible triangular foundation of any shape and linear loading. By combining the triangular foundations in mosaic-like manner, any type of load (with reference to ground plan and load size) can be easily modelled. Further information about triangular foundations can be found in "Setzungen und Spannungen unter Dreiecksfundamenten" ("Settlements and Stresses below Triangular Foundations"), Dr. Johann Buß, Geotechnik 22 (1999) No. 1.
