The SSCOMP program is a general, plane strain, soil-structure interaction program for static analyses of geotechnical problems including compaction induced stresses and deformations. The program calculates stresses, strains and displacements in soil elements, and internal forces and displacements in structural elements by means of analyses which simulate the actual sequence of construction operations. The non-linear and stress dependent stress-strain properties of the soils are approximated by varying the values of modulus and Poisson's ratio in accordance with the calculated stresses, using a modified form of the hyperbolic model proposed by Duncan. Structural materials are assumed to behave linearly.
