Anchor forces, surcharge

It is possible to introduce anchor forces and surcharges of rock blocks. The resultant of forces acting on the i-th block in kN/m is then determined. All forces acting on the block excluding the water pressure on the slip surface and the joints are taken into account.

Surcharge acting on the block

It is possible to input surface, strip and trapezoidal surcharge of terrain. The program then determines their effect on individual rock blocks.

Anchor forces

The applied anchor force is adjusted per 1m run based on the specified horizontal spacing of anchors.
