This program is used to verify retaining walls made of prefabricated blocks (retaining block walls).
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
Internal stability analysis (overturning, slip, load-bearing capacity of foundation soil)
Possibility to define any specific size of block (part of wall)
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 in front of and behind structures, modelling of artesian water
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 prefab wall (strip footing, piles)
Berms in front of the structure
Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
Possibility to consider minimum dimensioning pressure
Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
Supports mesh overhangs with anchorage
Multiple construction stages
Dimensioning (check for overturning stability and slip)
