The software is a free tool, which may used by persons with technical knowledge
concerning the pipe statics, soil
mechanics and construction analysis. The software can not replace a structural e
ngineer.
The calculations are valid for products of the Amiantit Group only. All input fo
r the calculation have to be proved by the
user to ensure that the data equals the condtitions on the construction site. Th
e results of the calculation can be reached
only if it is proved that the input suits the real values. Calculations are base
d on values given by the user; data and
experiences are added if necessary. The results of this structural analysis may
be reached in practice only if the
assumptions meet the conditions found on the construction site. Appliance, fitti
ng and real loading are out of reach of the
software provider; these are the user's area of responsibility. The user is resp
onsible for the stability of a building and the
necessary material quantities.
