Basic data

This part of the window serves to introduce basic parameters of soils – unit weight, angle of internal friction and cohesion. The particular values are obtained from geotechnical survey or from laboratory experiments. If these data are not available, it is possible to exploit built-in database of soils, which contains values of selected characteristics of soils.    

An input of parameters further depends on the selected type of analysis, which is set in the frame "Analysis methods".

The associated theory is described in detail in chapter "Analysis of bearing capacity of foundation".
