GGU-LATPILE: "Sum V analyses" menu item
- Matthias Jusko
Using this menu item, it is possible to analyse Sum V once again for a previously analysed system. If analysis of Sum V was not previously activated, it is activated now via a prompt box. The activation is then shown in the "Editor 1/Analysis of Sum V" or "Editor 1/Partial factors + Sum V" dialog boxes.
The circumference is required for analysis of Sum V. Both rectangular steel sections (HEB) and circular, tubular sections may be adopted as steel sections. If the analysis is activated a dialog box opens allowing the steel cross-section to be selected.
In the subsequent dialog box, the type of analysis or the effective circumference may be modified for the analysed system. This dialog box always opens immediately following analysis and design if analysis of Sum V is activated. For a bored pile analysis, you can also specify whether the bored pile should be designed as a driven pile. When analysing a bored pile, you can also specify whether the bored pile should be designed as a driven pile. You can choose between four analysis methods from a drop-down menu when analysing a steel pile (see the following dialog box).
Once the modifications are confirmed by pressing "OK" the data is displayed in a message box. After closing the box, the results for analysis of Sum V are displayed in the General legend, if the appropriate check box is activated.
