What is Enumeration in the GEO5 Stratigraphy Program?


In the GEO5 Stratigraphy program, “enumeration” refers to the process of listing and categorizing various soil layers or strata identified in a geotechnical profile. This process is essential for accurately defining the geotechnical model by ensuring that each distinct layer is recognized and assigned appropriate geotechnical parameters.

The Stratigraphy module of GEO5 allows users to create and manage complex stratigraphic profiles by enumerating the different layers of soil or rock. This enumeration helps in understanding the sequence, thickness, and properties of each layer, which is crucial for further geotechnical analysis and design.

Enumeration is applied through features like the Table of Layers and the Order of Layer Generation, where each layer is systematically organized and assigned specific parameters. For more details, refer to the Table of Layers and Order of Layer Generation sections in the online manual.
