DC-Pit version 4.0

New program version with design acc. to Eurocode 3 and numerous additional improvements

Version 4.0 of the program DC-Pit is available since September 2011. It contains numerous enhancements and improvements:

• Steel design acc. to Eurocode 3, DIN EN 1993 and OENORM B 1993
• The inclination angle delta,p of the passive earth pressure as well as delta,C for the subst. force C for fully fixed walls may be iterated automatically: reduction of delta,p, if the sum of vertical forces is going upwards, reduction of delta,C if the sum of vertical forces is going downwards.
• Italian version available (user interface and result output, to be selected separately)
• Display of single excavation stages in the input with redistribution figures and stiffness modules
• Automatic adaption of the values of elastic bedding when changing the excavation depth and for all soil layer depths
• Selection of the timber grade with the design of girder plank walls
• Printing of the current page from the graphics display
• Limiting resistance Rd for cantilever walls acc. to EB 102 to 62% of the passive earth pressure Eph,d
• Slopes in the excavation are not considered if they are located outside of the passive slip area under theta,p
• Special predefinitions in the soil layer input are marked with a red "warning light"
