In the Ground Failure section of the Configurations tab of the Geotechnical calculation , the design is activated by default. The theoretical basics of the ground failure can be found in Chapter Ground Failure under the theoretical basics.
For the ground failure design, you can either enter user-defined values for the allowable soil stress or calculate the ground failure resistance according to EN 1997-1 Annex D.
User-defined values for the allowable soil stress
You can specify the characteristic allowable soil stress σRk in the Ground Failure section.
