Verification According to EN 1997
Designing a structure according to EN 1997-1 essentially follows the theory of limit states.
Partial factors, adjusting the characteristic values of load, material, and resistance, are introduced into the analysis depending on the selected "Design approach".
Partial factors are identical for all analyses in a given program. However, a "Design situation" can be selected for individual stages.
The programs can be grouped into several categories based on the selected approach:
- Analysis of walls, supporting structures (Walls, Abutment, Nailed Slope)
- Analysis of sheeting structures (Sheeting Design, Sheeting Check, Earth Pressures)
- Foundation analysis (Spread Footing, Pile)
- Slope stability analysis
GEO5 programs support following National Annexes:
Finland, France, Poland, Germany, Slovakia, Austria, Singapore, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherland, the United Kingdom, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Romania.
Desired National Annex can be selected in "Settings List".
