Description

Draws the horizontal stress plot. 1 October 2015

Usage

sigmaX.plot(depth, sigmaX.eff, sigmaX.total = NA, u = NA, metric)

Value

Plot of horizontal stress profile versus depth

Arguments

depth

= vector of depths (ft or m)

sigmaX.eff

= vector of effective stresses (psf or kPa)

sigmaX.total

= vector of total stresses (psf or kPa)

u

= vector of pore water pressures (psf or kPa)

metric

= logical variable: TRUE (for metric units) or FALSE (for English units)

Examples

# Site with constant unit weight = 100 pcf, GWT at 10 ft depth
temp <- sigmaX.profile(gamma = rep(100, 3), depth = c(10, 20, 30), K =
c(0.35, 0.30, 0.28), zw = 10, metric = FALSE)                    
depth <- temp$depth
sigmaTotal <- temp$sigmaX.total
u <- temp$u
sigmaEff <- temp$sigmaX.eff
sigmaX.plot(depth = depth, sigmaX.eff = sigmaEff, metric = FALSE,
sigmaX.total = sigmaTotal, u = u)
