Entering Characteristic Soil Pressure Value and Calculating Design Value

Is it correct that the allowable soil pressure has to be entered as the characteristic value in Window 1.1 General Data of FOUNDATION Pro? Will the design value be determined automatically?

Answer:

Yes, this is correct.

The characteristic value of soil pressure is entered in input window 1.1 General Data. See Image 01.

The design value is:

σRd = σRk /  γR;v
Design Value

The estimated partial factor for spread foundations can be found in the parameters of the National Annex you have selected for the design. See Image 02.
