GEO5 Earth Pressures

This program computes basic earth pressures (active pressure, passive pressure and pressure at rest) acting upon an arbitrary shaped structure. The main features of GEO5 Earth Pressure program are:

• Generally layered soil environment
• Built-in database of soil parameters
• Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
• Modeling of water in front of and behind structures, modeling of artesian water
• General shape of terrain behind the structure
• Various earth pressure theories (Absi, Sokolovski, Müller-Breslau, Mazindrani, Caquot-Kérisel, Coulomb)
• Shape of earth wedge (vertical, skew)
• EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
• EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
• Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
• Analysis of earth pressures of overconsolidated soils
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
