GGU-CANTILEVER: "Verifications/Partial factors" menu item

If you are analysing with the partial safety factor concept, you will see a dialog box for defining the partial factors.

The "EQU analysis" group box (limit state of loss of static equilibrium) is only available in EC 7.

In the "Default values" group box you can use the "To DIN 1054:2010" button to transfer the partial safety factors for the various load cases of DIN 1054:2010 or EC 7. The selected design situation is automatically entered at the top of the dialog box and can, if desired, be displayed in the General legend. However, you can also use your own designations here.

In the partial safety concept according to EC 7, the designations of the load cases have been changed:

• Load Case 1 is now DS-P: Persistent Design Situation

• Load Case 2 is now DS-T: Transient Design Situation

• Load Case 3 is now DS-A: Accidental Design Situation

In addition, there is a seismic design situation: DS-E. In the DS-E design situation all partial factors = 1,0.

It is also possible to select the partial safety factors compliant with Austrian standards using the "To ÖNORM EN 1997-1" button.

In GGU-CANTILEVER you can also select the partial safety factors according to Swiss standards using the “to SIA 267” button.
