Analysis methods

The frame "Analysis methods" serves to specify verification methodology, standards or methods that are used to perform the analysis.

The combo lists allow for selecting standards for loading and combinations (EN 1990, or general) and for concrete structures (types of concrete are then specified in the frame "Geometry" based on the selected standard).

This frame also serves to specify subdivision of the wall into finite elements (default setting is 20 elements). Next it is possible to define whether the soil acts in tension – we always recommend calculating assuming tension cutoff of soils.

A combo list allows for choosing one of the three ways of defining the Winkler-Pasternak subsoil:  

- calculation of C1 and C2  - the Winkler-Pasternak parameters of subsoil are calculated by the program from inputted parameters of the geological profile
- input of C1 and C- the Winkler-Pasternak parameters of subsoil are directly specified
- input of Edef, ny, hz – the Winkler-Pasternak parameters of subsoil are calculated from the deformation modulus Edef, Poisson number and depth of influence zone hz

In the first case, when parameters C1 and C2 are calculated, the frame "Subsoil" is not accessible. For the remaining two approaches the frames "Interface", "Location", "Soils", "Assign", and "Water" are not accessible.
