Settlement of Surface Footings - FLPLOT

Authors:
John Small


This Windows based program is used in conjunction with program FLEA5. It is used to visually display stress and displacement fields on any vertical plane in a layered soil profile.

Options include contours of all six stress components, maximum, intermediate and minimum principal stresses, stress trajectories in the plane of interest, contours of deviator stress, vectors of displacement, deformed grids, and contours of displacement. Full windowing capabilities allow enlargement of sections of the plot which are of interest.

Hardcopy of plots can be made by printing directly to any printer available under Windows or saved as PostScript files. These files can be added to documents produced by commonly used word processing programs, and may include colour. Screen images can be pasted to the clipboard and copied to word processing programs as well.
