User's Guide for Computer Program HEAVE

L. D. Johnson

The program HEAVE is a one-dimensional computer program for approximate analysis of vertical movements of swelling foundation soils beneath permanent structures caused by changes in vertical loads and/or the moisture profile. The program is applicable to slab, long continuous, and circular shaft foundations. Results of both one-dimensional consolidometer swell tests and soil suction tests may be used in HEAVE. The program considers effects of soil overburden pressures and structural loads, hetergeneous soils, and saturated or hydrostatic equilibrium moiisture profiles on the computed heave. HEAVE can estimate the movement of circular drilled shaft foundations, the maximum tension force in circular shafts from heave of surrounding swelling soil, and the restraining force provided by the underream (a bell or enlargement of the shaft base).
