Product Overview
Settle 3
Settlement Analysis
Perform soil settlement analysis of embankments, foundations, and surface loads. Analyze immediate settlement, primary consolidation and secondary settlement and view your results in 3D.
CPT Analysis
Used as a fully-functional standalone CPT interpretation software or in conjunction with Settle3’s liquefaction analysis module, collect up to 5 independent readings in a single sounding.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction analysis can be done in addition to settlement analysis or on its own. Liquefaction results can be calculated based on Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT), or Shear Wave Velocity (VST) data.
