GGU-STABILITY: "Permanent loads + live loads" button

If you have a system e.g. with a permanent load, first, select the "Permanent loads + Live loads" button. To edit the number of permanent loads, select the "x load(s) to edit" button. Then enter 1 as the new number and confirm with "OK".

For the load definition the size of the load (as a line load) and the two x coordinates of the load must be entered. The value "y" designates the height of the point where the load acts. For the example the following values are to be entered:

Input of live loads is analogous to that of permanent loads; you must additionally activate the "As live" check box. In contrast to the permanent loads to DIN 4084, the live loads are only adopted if the resultant friction force at the foot of the slice does not possess a resisting component. If the mobilising component is always to be adopted, activate the "Adopt 'very' conservative live loads" (also see the "Info" button).
