Cantilever Wall

This program is used to verify cantilever retaining wall design.
It offers a number of wall shapes and analyzes reinforced concrete cross-sections.

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)

  • Verification of concrete cross-sections according to various standards (EC 2, BS 8110, IS456, CSN, PN)

  • 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 cantilever wall (strip footing, piles)

  • Berms in front of the structure

  • Calculation of earth pressures in effective and total parameters

  • Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)

  • Multiple construction stages
