Answer:
The soil profile in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro is not only required for the determination of the allowable soil pressure.
It is also necessary to enter the soil profile when performing one of the following design checks:
- Ground failure design by determining the resistance according to EN 1997‑1, Annex D
- Sliding resistance design
- Settlement calculation
If the ground failure resistance is user-defined and the settlement calculation as well as the sliding resistance design are deactivated, the program does not require the evaluation of the soil profile, and the dialog box for entering the soil profile is disabled.
