GGU-RETAIN: General notes on construction phases

Owned by Katrin Krause
Jan. 21, 2025

When the system you are working on consists of several construction phases, each phase must initially be calculated separately, and the results saved in corresponding files. Subsequently, from this menu, you can combine the different file contents. The following graphics can be created:

  • envelope of moments;

  • envelope of shear forces;

  • envelope of normal forces;

  • displacements;

  • envelope of reinforcement.

The resulting graphic is displayed in the current system. The "Construction phases" menu will only work with the results from the files compiled using this menu.

For diaphragm walls, bored pile walls and bored soldier pile walls, please note:

Construction phase files created using program versions older than GGU-RETAIN 10.20 must first be opened and then saved again in the new program versions from 10.20 on, to achieve reinforcement envelope visualisation.
