ggplot exampe pile settlement using the hyperbolic method

Description

Returns an example pile load-settlement graph for a rigid pile using Fleming's (1992) hyperbolic method for pile displacements.

Usage

ggplot_hyperbolicmethod(
  Qb = 1500,
  Qs = 1000,
  Q = 2000,
  Eb = 50000,
  Ds = 0.5,
  Db = NULL,
  Ms = 0.001,
  ylim = c(0, 0.5),
  palette = "Set1"
)

Arguments

Qb	pile base capacity
Qs	pile shaft capacity
Q	Example load applied to pile
Eb	soil Young's modulus underneath the pile tip
Ds	pile shaft diameter
Db	pile base diameter. If not defined, this is assumed to be equal to the shaft diameter
Ms	empirical factor, assumed as Ms = 0.001 by default
ylim	vector with upper and lower plot settlement limits
palette	RColorBrewer color palette to use for annotations

Examples

# Input parameters
Qs <- 1000  # [kN]
Qb <- 1500  # [kN]
Q <- 2000  # [kN]
Eb <- 50e3  # [kPa]
Ds <- 0.5  # [m]

# plot
ggplot_hyperbolicmethod(Qb = Qb, Qs = Qs, Q = Q, Eb = Eb, Ds = Ds)
