If you press the "Info" button, you will see further information on the subsoil situation (favourable/unfavourable). In the "Default values" group box the partial factors for the various load cases and subsoil conditions given in the DIN 1054:2010 and in the EC 7 can be selected by means of the dialog box reached by clicking the "To DIN 1054:2010" button. The load case designations were altered for the EC 7 partial safety factor concept:

• Load Case 1 is now DS-P: Persistent 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.
