GGU-FOOTING: "Partial safety factors" menu item

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

By pressing the appropriate button the partial factors for the various load cases given in DIN 1054:2010 and EC 7 can be adopted.

The load case designations were altered for the EC 7 partial safety factor concept:

• 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.

The load case correlation to ÖNORM EN 1997-1 will be shown by clicking on the corresponding button. The partial safety factors are automatically adopted in the system data (see menu item "Edit/System parameters").
