Dear Customer,

thank you for reaching out to us. The alpha factor refers to the rotational restraint variable. More information on this variable can be found in the PROFIS Anchor Design Guide which can be viewed and downloaded by clicking on the question mark icon in the upper right hand corner of the user interface. Don't hesitate to contact us if there is anything else we can do for you.

Best Regards
Michael
