BS-Theory: Soil properties -Anfang

Up to 50 soil layers can be taken into consideration. For each layer the following parameters must be given:

• depth in metres below top of the wall, or absolute depth,

• unit weight [kN/m³] of moist soil γ,

• unit weight [kN/m³] of buoyant soil γ',

• friction angle [°],

• cohesion (active and passive) [kN/m²],

• active angle of wall friction as the ratio δ_a/φ,

• passive angle of wall friction δ_p/φ,
