Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Horizontal Pressure
horizontal pressure is the pressure applied in the horizontal direction due to backfill is called the horizontal pressure.
Symbol: dH
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
tan
The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle.
Syntax: tan(Angle)
