The condition for the permissibility of the mean is that the mean friction angle demonstrates a maximum deviation of 5° to the true friction angles. This condition can be checked by the program. If it is not adhered to, the program reduces the largest friction angle in stages until the condition is met

Sliding safety is computed to EC 7. In addition, the sliding safety of an equivalent horizontal plane is computed for an inclined base plane.
...
Sliding safety is calculated as follows in accordance with the partial safety factor concept:

SettlementsAnalysis of settlement is compliant with DIN 4019 using the relationships given in the Geotechnical Engineering Handbook (1990; Fourth Edition) (equations 8 and 14 from Section 1.7 Stress analyses). The program determines the stresses at 0.05 m intervals or at layer boundaries and numerically integrates them.
...
For settlement analyses, any preconsolidation loading in kN/m² can be subtracted from the current soil pressure. Settlement analysis will then be performed with the reduced values. The overburden pressure is also reduced by this amount when calculating the limiting depth.

Hydraulic heave safety using global safety factorsThe hydraulic heave safety for each layer below the excavation base is determined via a comparison of the soil weights to the flow forces at the respective layer bases.

Buoyancy safety using global safety factorsThe buoyancy safety for each soil layer within the excavation is determined via a comparison of the soil weights to the water pressures at the respective layer bases. The self-weights of site plant and structures, frictional forces etc. are not included.
...
If the same permeability has been defined for the whole system, safety against buoyancy is not determined. In certain cases, for example, when permeability on the passive side is much greater than on the active side, the calculation of safety factors for hydraulic uplift is meaningless. If, in such, or similar cases, the message "Buoyancy safety could not be demonstrated" appears, you can either ignore it or set the "Safety against buoyancy" to 1.0, which suppresses the message.

Verification of deep-seated stabilityVerification of deep-seated stability is required for anchored cantilever walls. This primarily serves to determine the necessary anchor lengths. Verification uses the method described by Ranke/Ostermayer (Bautechnik 1968 (Construction Engineering), Issue 10). When verifying deep-seated stability each anchor is first investigated (including the influence of the remaining anchors on the slip plane). Compound slip planes, which are determined by connecting the end points of the anchors involved, are then analysed.
...
Here, too, optimisation regarding a utilisation factor of 1.0 is possible.
