Publication GeoTechniek (in Dutch): Rekenregels = Programmeerregels?
by Karin Veenman on 13/12/2022
Resultaat van de groepen, sonderingen per groep en op welke niveaus wordt voldaan aan het vereiste draagvermogen. Middelste paneel: groen geeft valide groep met correcte hart op hart afstand weer.

Daarbij leidt het nadenken over hoe we dit kunnen oplossen in universele principes die in alle gevallen gelden, tot onverwachte inzichten en tot het besef dat een aantal rekenregels met een praktische insteek (en niet perse een logische) is gekozen. We vonden deze opvallend genoeg om te delen in dit artikel.
