This fifty-second manual in the GEO5 engineering series focuses on utilizing advanced formulas and template customization within the GEO5 Laboratory program. The manual demonstrates how to calculate post-peak shear parameters (angle of internal friction ϕp and cohesion cp) at a specified displacement using the Shear Box Test. Engineers will learn to modify templates to enhance automation and reporting accuracy for laboratory tests.
Learning Objective:
The goal of this manual is to teach users how to use formulas within the GEO5 Laboratory program to calculate post-peak parameters automatically and integrate these results into customizable templates. Users will gain expertise in editing templates, adding formulas, and designing output protocols that reflect new calculations for post-peak shear strength.
Assignment Description:
In this assignment, users are tasked with:
- Modifying the “Laboratory – EN-Standard” template to include data types for post-peak shear parameters.
- Creating formulas for linear interpolation to calculate post-peak shear stress at a displacement of 8 mm.
- Editing output logs and graphs to include new data types and visualizations.
- Saving the modified template set as “EM 52” for future use.
The manual provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to accomplish these tasks, including specific instructions for editing the Shear Box Test template, configuring data fields, and formatting output reports.
Outcome:
Upon completing this assignment, users will be able to effectively automate post-peak parameter calculations in GEO5 Laboratory, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of their data analysis. They will develop practical skills in template customization, formula application, and output protocol design, ensuring field and laboratory reports meet advanced project requirements.
Conclusions:
The manual concludes that leveraging advanced template editing and formula integration in the GEO5 Laboratory program significantly improves data processing workflows. By following the outlined steps, engineers can ensure their templates and reports are precisely tailored to project-specific needs, improving both the quality and clarity of their results.
