VL-MOD-REG-002IMPLEMENTEDSCREENING ONLY

Regolith overburden integration

Regolith / geotechnics · LUNA overburden integration · version 0.1

Purpose
Integrate density-depth profiles to obtain overburden pressure for buried or berm-supported concepts.
Source
Vectoris working formulation chained from VL-MOD-REG-001.
Validity range
Continuum screening of cover loads. Not a verified soil-structure interaction solution.
Uncertainty
Lateral earth-pressure coefficients and low-gravity constitutive behaviour remain open.

Assumptions

  • Vertical overburden from integrated bulk density
  • No arching, excavation relief, or three-dimensional flow

Status legend

Implementation status and validation status are independent. IMPLEMENTED means a computational module exists in the LUNA toolchain. It does not mean VERIFIED. CalculiX export is file exchange, not FEM verification.
