2. PROGRAM OPERATION
EMBANK_STRESS
Figure 1 shows the location of the modules in the main screen of the
program.

2.1. Module 1 - Input data
Unit weight.- This refers to the unit weight of the material that
constitutes the embankment [kN/m]. This value cannot be equal
or less than zero, so an error message will appear indicating this
mistake. Also if you enter an unrealistic unit weight value (<10
kN/m or >30 kN/m), a warning message will appear.

h = 5.0 m
a = 7.5 m
b = 15.0 m
Figure 4 shows a screenshot of the first module with our input data.

Xmin = -50.0
Xmax = 80.0
Zmin = 0.0
Zmax = 100.0
Figure 9 shows the resulting contour map for the vertical stress
increments.
