Surcharge

The "Surcharge" frame contains a table with a list of inputted surcharges. Adding (editing) surcharge is performed in the "New (edit) surcharge" dialog window. The inputted surcharges can be edited on the desktop with the help of active dimensions or active objects, respectively.

All inputted parameters of a surcharge can be modified in the construction stage where the surcharge was specified. Only the surcharge magnitude can be modified in all subsequent construction stages (option "Adjust surcharge").

Either permanent or variable surcharge can be introduced. Selecting the particular type of surcharge also renders the corresponding design coefficient to multiply the resulting loading action. Favorably acting variable surcharge is not considered in the program.

Influence of surcharge on stability analysis of slopes is described in the theoretical part of the hint.
