GGU-UNDERPIN: "Deep-seated stability summary" menu item

After the state variables have been calculated by the program, and depending on the safety factors selected, the deep-seated stability safety factor or the utilisation factor of any anchors is automatically determined

In addition to the information regarding the anchors, the critical safety factor or the utilisation factor for deep-seated stability for each anchor is given. In the example shown here, the anchor has a safety factor which is higher than the required value of 1.5. Select the "Optimise" button to optimise the length of the anchor.

By activating the button "Search completely" the optimum is searched for between the minimum and the maximum anchor length (recommended setting!). Otherwise, an optimum is searched for based on the current neighbouring anchor lengths. Because interaction occurs between anchors if more than one anchor is involved, it is possible for other anchors to fall below the required safety factor during the optimisation. These anchors must then be subsequently optimised.
