The module of the program WinBoesch for the calculation of the stability of slopes with circular slip planes offers the possibility to determine the slope and/or ground resistance to fracture with the help of a rotation mechanism (according to Bishop). For WinBoesch further modules for the calculation with block slip lines and with non-circular slip lines are available.

The surface of WinBoesch is similar to that of WINDOWS Explorer. The input tree guarantees an optimal view of all inputs. Opening the output window before the data input enables the user to directly see the effects of the data input in the output window. As many windows as needed can be opened and arranged either next to or below each other. WinBoesch runs with the operating systems WINDOWS 2000, XP, Vista and WINDOWS 7.

Input:

• Several projects can be processed simultaneously in a file. For every project the following elements can be entered:
  • Project data: Description of the project, plan and project number, person responsible, date, drawing definition and labeling of the graphics
  • Layers: Layer data, layer geometry, a representation type (shading and/or color) and labeling. Interstitial water overpressure can be considered during the calculation through the characteristics new load factor and consolidation delay.
    Individual layers and their data can be used as so-called default data records: The data of a layer can be put in as default for future layers and these data records can then be loaded into the current layer upon opening WinBoesch.
  • Components: Building with arbitrary geometry, anchor without and with initial tension (through additional frictional force according to DIN 4084), geotextiles (additional also for the state of great deformations in the break state)
  • Loads: Vertical and horizontal point loads, area loads, mobile loads and water loads
  • Earthquake influence (according to DIN 4149, Part 2) and Saturation line
  • Slip line: Definition of a circular slip line with specification of fixed points, centers, and radii as well as a specification of a search raster
  • Calculation standard: Valid calculation standard with the definition of the load case and input of the partial safety coefficients
  • Printed pages: Appearance, size, and number of the output pages to be printed
• The input of coordinates (for example with layer edge, load point, slip line coordinates) is either done graphically with the mouse in the output window or via input masks in the project window.
• Within a file a project or individual project elements can be copied and inserted, that facilitates the input for similar conditions.
• During the input and/or before the calculation the correctness of all entered values is verified.
• For every input mask, a direct-help can be accessed by pressing the F1 key.
• With the program, WinBoesch WinNagel-files can be opened and processed and vice versa. Moreover, existing old WinSlope or WinNagel files (*.dat) can be imported into WinBoesch.

Evaluation:

• The stability is determined optionally according to valid calculation standards (DIN 4084, DIN V 4084 – 100 or EC 7).
• The slip line calculation is carried out either systematically according to user specifications for fixed circles or it is searched automatically for the most unfavorable break mechanism with the least safety through variation of the circular slip line in a given search raster. It is tested in this case for every slip line order whether this is physically possible.

Output:

• After the calculation of the stability the following output pages are produced:
  • Graphics of the slope geometry with the decisive slip plane and the search raster including the computed safety per raster point
  • Protocol with input and output data of which the scope can be freely stipulated.
• The appearance of the printable pages is freely adjustable:
  • Company name and, if available, a company logo can be inserted into the output forms. These settings can then also be applied to all other IDAT programs.
  • Any page inscription can be entered for the right upper corner: When e.g. for the first protocol page any text and page number is entered, the following protocol pages will be consecutively numbered. Therefore, the protocol pages do not have to start with number 1.
  • The output of the pages can arbitrarily be scaled and rearranged. It can also be displayed in b/w since some colors are difficult to recognize when converted into a grey scale.
  • If needed the layer data can be displayed in a table on the graphics page. The position of the table on the page can be freely selected. In addition, it can be determined which columns the layer data table should contain.
  • For the stamp field, the project data (such as projects, person responsible, etc.) can be individually adapted and stored as company-specific default values.
• The graphics can be printed as DIN A4 or up to DIN A0 either in horizontal or vertical format.

WinWand – Earth pressure calculation for rigid retaining walls and abutment (DIN 4085, DIN 1054, EC 7)

The program WinWand is used for the calculation of active, passive earth and static pressure for rigid retaining walls and abutment with consideration of not flowing or flowing groundwater. Are determined in each case the decisive distribution about the wall height and that one from that resultant. The contact pressure and the water pressure under the wall are charged additional and determined the Slip- and overturn-safety of the wall as well as the safety for ultimate state for passive earth pressure.

The surface of WinWand is built up just the same as the WINDOWS-Explorer. The input tree guarantees an optimal view of all inputs. If one opens the output window before the data input, one can see the effects of the inputs directly in the output window. As many as desired windows can be opened and arranged both under each other and next to each other. WinWand runs under the operating systems WINDOWS 2000, XP, Vista and WINDOWS 7.

Input:

• For every WinWand-project following elements can be entered:
  • Project data: Description of the project, plan-, project-number, person responsible, date, drawing definition and inscription of the graphics

    The approach of the least earth pressure, the input of user-defined earth pressure coefficients per layer and the consideration of not consolidated, soft cohesive soil (through an adhesion) is possible.
  • Groundwater: In each case a ground-water level on the active and the passive wall side with arbitrary inscription; besides a circulate can be considered.
  • Loads: Vertical point loads, line loads, area loads (unlimited and limited), foundation loads and horizontal loads
    The direct at / on the wall attacking loads are represented in the graphics in another color than the loads in the ground.
    With approach of the static pressure can be distinguished, whether the load was raised before or after the production of the retaining wall.
  • Support: a support with input of the working point at the left wall side and inscription for the graphics
  • Calculation standard: Valid calculation standard with definition of the load case and input of the partial safety coefficients.
  • Printed pages: Appearance, size and extent of the edition pages to be printed
• Within a file a project or individual project elements can be copied and inserted, so that one can facilitate the input with similar circumstances.
• During the input and/or before the calculation an inspection of the correctness of all entered values is carried out.
• To every input mask a direct-help is addressable in the program about the F1 press button.
• It can be imported existing old files of the DOS-programs for earth pressure calculation from IDAT (*.dat) to WinWand.

Evaluation:

• The safety proof is determined optional according to valid calculation standards.
• The active and passive earth pressure distributions are determined (where appropriate static pressure distribution) as soon as the contact pressure and the water pressure under the wall. The resultant active and passive earth pressure loads and his vertical and horizontal components as well as the resultants from earth pressure and wall emphasis on the base face and his eccentricity are determined.
• The overturn- and the slip safety are determined for load case (1) and load case (2). The slip safety is computed for diagonal sole according to VSS and for the substitute shear face according to SPANG.

  • Graphics of the wall- and terrain geometry with the decisive earth pressure distribution (einschließlich des Wasserdruckes) for the active and the passive wall side as well as the contact pressure and the water pressure under the wall
  • Protocol with the input and edition data, their volume arbitrary can be defaulted
• The appearance of the printable pages is any variable:
  • It can be merged an own company name and, so far available, an own logo into the edition forms. These attitudes can be taken over also for all other IDAT-programs.
  • An arbitrary page inscription can be entered for the right upper corner: When for example for the first protocol page an arbitrary text and an arbitrary page number is entered, the following protocol pages are numbered continuously for this purpose. The protocol pages do not have to begin therefore with the number 1.
  • The edition of the pages can be scaled any and displaced. It can occur also in black/white since some colors are to be recognized badly during the conversion in grey scales.
  • If wants, the layer data can be spent on the graphics page in a table. The position of the table on the page can be determined any. In addition it can be determined which columns the layer data table is supposed to contain.
  • For the stamp field the project data (as projects, person responsible usw.) can be adapted individually and stored as company-specific default values.
• The graphics can be printed in DIN A4 to A0 both in horizontal- as also a vertical format.
• The page by page export of the graphics and protocol pages is possible as EMF- as well as as DXF-graphics. The exported graphics can be inserted then into other programs for example AutoCAD or CorelDraw at DXF and for example Word or Excel at EMF and/or can be processed there. The protocol pages can be exported in addition as HTML file and can be works with programs as Word or can be looked with Internet browsers.
