Design and analysis of retaining walls (Cantilever and Gravity). Calculates the stability, bearing capacity, settlement, rotation and structural integrity including reinforcement.

Features

•  Analyze a wide variety of retaining walls (cantilever or gravity) according to either Rankine’s or
  Coulomb’s methods, with an override option to specify the desired coefficient's.
   
• Calculates the foundation soil bearing capacity dynamically as a function of the wall’s shape and applied loads, and takes into account variable soil layers and the presence of water.
   
• Accepts different soil parameters for the backfill, foundation, & front soils, and provides an estimate of the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (Ks).
   
• Calculates safety factors for the Bearing capacity, Overturning, and Sliding and compares to a recommended set of safety factors.
   
• Accounts for seismic loading in accordance to Eurocode.
   
• Estimates the elastic settlement of the wall, and the rotation of the base based on either a Rigid or a Flexible Plate model.
   
• Checks the wall’s structural integrity and determines the requirement for reinforcement in accordance with the ACI code.
   
• Print the screen to have a concise report of the analyzed problem, or print a formatted output with full details.
   
• The on-line help provides all the needed.
