5. TOOLS

CHAPTER 5 "TOOLS" 22 where you specify the number of territorial zones and then, for each territorial zone selected from the "Zone" drop down list, its data. The stake is placed at the node of the header that you point to with the mouse. The position of the piles is chosen exclusively by the designer. Later there will be an optimization process where the optimal combination of number and diameter of piles in a rectangular arrangement will be proposed. The bars are inserted to the depth corresponding to the total length of the pile. The bars correspond to a circular reinforced concrete post or whatever other material you originally selected. OBSERVATION: There is no problem with piles being inserted at a negative altitude. Then, as usual, the analysis can be run and the intensive quantities can be calculated for the piles as well. At present, the pile inspection procedure has not been implemented.
