This program is used to quickly design non-anchored walls and to make a basic design of anchored retaining walls (Sheet pile, Soldier pile, Diaphragm and Pile walls). The results show the required embedment lengths, the internal forces on the structure and the forces in anchors. The program provides verification of RC, steel or timber cross sections.
Advanced analysis of multiplied anchored walls (including displacement of structure) can be performed using the program GEO5 Sheeting Check (elasto-plastic nonlinear method).
Main Features
Variety of pre-defined types of cross-section:
Pile wall (Secant pile wall, Tangent pile wall, Contiguous pile wall)
Soldier pile wall (Berliner wall) - Steel cross section (I, HEB)
Sheet pile wall
Steel cross-sections (Skyline, Arcelor Mittal, Vítkovice Steel, Agastyl, ThyssenKrupp, Gerdau, Bethlehem Steel, Mer Lion Metals)
Vinyl cross-sections (CMI, ESP Everlast Synthetic Products)
Concrete rectangular walls (Diaphragm wall, Milano walls)
Steel-concrete cross-sections
Timber pole wall
Other – possibility to input own material characteristics
Redistribution of pressures - EAB, LRFD
Increased active pressure and Pressure at rest
Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
Possibility to consider minimum dimensioning pressure
Generally layered soil environment
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
Built-in database of soil parameters
