Earth pressure

Program system GEO5 considers the following earth pressures categories:

When computing earth pressures the program GEO5 allows for distinguishing between the effective and total stress state and for establishing several ways of calculation of uplift pressure. In addition it is possible to account for the following effects having on the earth pressure magnitude:

The following sign convention is used in the program, text and presented expressions.

When specifying rocks it is also necessary to input both the cohesion of rock c and the angle of internal friction of rockφ. These values can be otained either from the geological survey or from the table of recommended values.
