Design coefficients

The frame "Settings" serves to specify two groups of design (partial) coefficients:


Partial factors on soil parameters

γmφ - partial factor on internal friction
γmc - partial factor on effective cohesion
γmγ - partial factor on unit weight


It is also possible to choose reduction of tgφ.

Partial factors on pile resistance

γb - partial factor on pile base resistance
γs - partial factor on pile shaft resistance
γb - partial factor on total pile resistance
γst - partial factor on pile tensile shaft resistance

The values of individual coefficients are listed in corresponding standards.
