This program is used for design of gravity retaining walls. It offers
a range of wall shapes and verifies mass concrete cross-sections.
Main Features
Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, LRFD or classical approach (limit states, factor of safety)
EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
Analysis of internal stability (overturning, slip, bearing capacity of foundation soil)
Check of concrete cross-sections according to various standards (EC 2, BS 8110, IS456, CSN, PN)
Verification of stone masonry structures (EC 6, GB 50030-2011)
Generally layered soil environment
Built-in database of soil parameters
Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
Arbitrary number of inserted forces (anchors, safety fences, etc.)
Modelling of water present in front and behind structures, modelling of artesian water
Possibility to consider general shape of gravity wall
General shape of terrain behind the structure
Front face resistance in front of the structure (at rest, passive, reduced passive)
New types of foundation below the gravity wall (strip footing, piles)
Berms in front of the structure
Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
Multiple construction stages
Tensile strength of concrete may be ignored
