LRFD - Design Situations
LRFD introduces the following design situations for the analysis of support structures (retaining walls), foundations, and slope stability:
- Strength I: : the basic design situation that reduces the structure resistance and the magnitude of the load.
- Service I: this design situation uses the values of partial factors (load, resistance reduction) equal to 1.0 for most cases.
- Extreme I: this design situation uses the values of partial factors (resistance reduction) equal to 1.0 for most cases.
The type of design situation is selected in the "Stage settings" frame. The values of partial factors (load, resistance reduction) can be modified in the "Settings" frame.
