GGU-CANTILEVER: "User-defined earth pressure coefficients" menu item

If you want to work with user-defined earth pressure coefficients instead of with those computed by the program you can enter them here. Enter the coefficients for horizontal ground. If necessary, the program will convert them for sloping ground using equation values for k_ah0 and k_ah (see "Theoretical principles: Berms").

If the "Compute values" button is pressed the earth pressure coefficients can be calculated by the program in accordance with the required standard and slope angle.

The earth pressure coefficients entered here are only adopted if the "User-defined" check box is activated in "Editor 1/Active earth pressure" and/or in "Editor 1/Passive earth pressure" menu items.
