This program computes basic earth pressures (active pressure, passive pressure and pressure at rest) acting upon an arbitrary shaped structure.
Main features
Generally layered soil environment
Built-in database of soil parameters
Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
Modelling of water in front of and behind structures, modelling of artesian water
General shape of terrain behind the structure
Various earth pressure theories (Absi, Sokolovski, Müller-Breslau, Mazindrani, Caquot-Kérisel, Coulomb)
Shape of earth wedge (vertical, skew)
EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
Analysis of earth pressures of overconsolidated soils
Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
