damcalculator 0.0.1

A dam calculator

damCalculator

A useful tool to calculate the dam's slidding and overturning safety factors, also can derive all the complicated forces applied to a single dam. The project is programmed in an object-oriented way, so most of the time when you want to pass parameters from one object to another, remember this "parameter" may also be an object.

Installation

Use pip to install damCalculator:

.. code:: bash pip install damcalculator

Example

Here's an simple example of how to use this package on the St.Francis dam.

Import some bascis packages:

..code::python from matplotlib import pyplot as plt import damCalculator

Prepare for plotting:

..code::python fig,ax=plt.subplots() plt.close(fig)

Define some inner parameters of the St.Francis dam:

..code::python damGeometry=damCalculator.geometry.damGeometry(H=850.3048,h=1700.3048,l=150.3048,a=100.3048,b=1350.3048,c=300.3048,hu=2000.3048,hd=200.3048) concrete=damCalculator.material.concrete(density=2400) water=damCalculator.material.water(density=1000)

The distribution of uplift water pressure, choose one from the two below, or you can create your own:

..code::python upliftForce=damCalculator.force.upliftForce(upliftPressure=[(0,598017.6,0)],damGeometry=damGeometry) upliftForce=damCalculator.force.upliftForce(upliftPressure=[(0,0)],damGeometry=damGeometry)

Create model instance:

..code::python model=damCalculator.model(damGeometry=damGeometry,concrete=concrete,water=water,upliftForce=upliftForce,fig=fig,ax=ax)

Print overturning safety factor and slipping safety factor:

..code::python print(model.overtuningFactor.oFactor) print(model.slipFactor.sFactor)

Plot the shape of the dam

..code::python model.plotDam.showDam()
