Earth pressures – Calculation of earth pressures

The program computes basic earth pressures (active, passive pressure, and pressure at rest) acting upon an arbitrary curved structure.

Main features

• Generally layered soil environment
• Built-in database of soil parameters
• Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
• Modelling of water in front of and behind structures, modelling of artesian water
• General shape of terrain behind the structure
• Various earth pressure theories (Absi, Sokolovski, Muller Breslau, Mazindrani, Caquot Kérisel, Coulomb,…)
• Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
• Analysis of earth pressures of overconsolidated soils
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango)
