Design Approach 3

Design approach 3 applies the partial factors to load actions and at the same type to the material (material parameters of soil).

Contrary to other design approaches, it distinguishes geotechnical loads - GEO State (load actions caused by soils - e.g. earth pressures, pressures due to a surcharge, water action) and loads applied to structures - STR State (the program considers the structure self-weight, applied forces acting on the structure, anchors, geo-reinforcements, mesh overhangs). A different set of coefficients, specified in the "Partial factors" dialog window, is used for each type of load. Partial factors applied to geotechnical loads are mostly smaller than those applied to structure loads.
