Settings

The "Settings" frame contains basic settings for the analysis of earth pressures. The program offers pre-setting for different countries (Czech Republic, Germany, France...) and "Standard" recommended by the authors of the program for countries not included in the list. While changing settings in the combo list the values of coefficients of reduction of soil parameters in corresponding windows are changed.

An arbitrary analysis setting is available with the option "User-defined". Selecting the option "Reduction of soil parameters" allows for specifying in input fields individual values of the coefficients of reduction of soil parameters.

The "Other" tab sheet contains setting for minimum dimensioning pressure and setting of parameters of internal stability of a structure. This tab sheet also serves to enter, whether the modulus of subsoil reaction bellow ditch bottom, entered in the frame "Geometry", is reduced when using the braced sheeting.

The program "Sheeting check" is useful particularly when modeling real behavior of a structure – consequently we recommend the analysis to be performed without reduction of input characteristics of soils ("Standard").
