• Active earth pressure coefficients according to DIN 4085, after Culmann or user-defined values 
• Redistribution of the active earth pressure definable 
• Consideration of earthquake according to EC 8 or EAU 1990, additionally consideration of a horizontal load from a rigid structure or from dead weight of the wall 
• Passive earth pressure coefficients according to DIN 4085:2011, Streck, Caquot/Kerisel, Culmann or user-defined values 
• Soil properties can be selected from an expandable database of common soils 
• For the p-y-method: option to choose between non cohesive, cohesive-soft and cohesive-firm soils 
• For the modulus of subgrade reaction method: subgrade reaction modulus along the embedment depth with any course possible
