StoneC is a simple program for the calculation of soil improvement due to vibro replacement. All calculations are performed according to the methodology published by Heinz J. Priebe in Ground Engineering, December 1995. Vibro replacement is an accepted method for subsoil improvement, that is achieved with the installation of large columns of coarse backfill material in the ground, using special vibrators.
StoneC was tested for accuracy by The Vibroflotation Group and was found to perform well.
Main Characteristics
| • | Performs design calculations according to the method described by Priebe |
| • | Supports both rectangular and triangular stone columns grid installation patterns. |
| • | Different stone columns diameters in every subsoil layer |
| • | Foundation type can be rectangular or circular |
| • | Performs settlements calculation using the basic theory of elasticity and according to Steinbrenner both for the treated and untreated soil |
| • | Performs bearing capacity calculations according to the method described by Priebe with and without the partial factors from Eurocode 8 |
| • | Generates an extensive report of the results |
