Calculation of underpinning bodies.

Underpinning bodies
The GGU-UNDERPIN program allows the calculation of underpinning bodies and, in special cases, of foundations.

The program system offers comfortable data input with permanent presentation of the system on the screen. Every change of data is shown on the screen, so that optimum control of data input is given. The many means of graphical presentation, to a high standard of quality, make it possible for you to show your calculation results exactly as you wish to. The basis is the "Recommendations of the Working Group for Building Pits" ("Empfehlungen des Arbeitskreises Baugruben") (EAB). Almost all of the suggestions contained therein are taken into consideration.

In particular, with a given system, the program will, if desired, look up the earth pressure redistribution suggested in the EAB.
