Calculation of Earth Pressure due to Culmann/Gudehus

The conventional earth pressure computation according to
EAB/EAU can result in unrealistic earth pressure for
complicated geometries and in some special cases. The program
FIDES-EarthPressure can compute the active/passive earth
pressure with an extended Culmann method and/or a 2-body
mechanism according to Gudehus.

The formation of slip lines due to banks, concentrated loads,
inclined or bended walls and the correct consideration of
horizontal and polygonally shaped soil layers and ground water
surface occurs automatically due to mathematical
optimisation. As an extension to the program WALLS-retain it
can import WALLS input data and return a list of calculated
earth pressure values to the WALLS-program for further
calculations.
