Gravity Retaining Wall Analysis & Design
Module Summary
- Quickly and easily analyzes and designs nearly any gravity retaining wall of any material.
- Loading conditions include surcharges, adjacent footings, wind, seismic (due to earth pressure and/or self-weight).
- Results summary for overstress warnings.
- Design for wind on projecting portion of stem.
- Input active/passive pressures using Equivalent Fluid Pressure method, or select Coulomb method and enter angle of internal friction, and RetainPro automatically calculates active and passive pressures.
- Many designer-decision options, such as use of vertical component of active pressure for overturning or sliding or soil pressure reduction, use of cohesion instead of friction to resist sliding, and others.
- Automatic sizing of footings with no restriction on offsets either side.
- Graphics displays construction drawing of your design and loading diagram to check your input/output.
- Add a shear key anywhere under footing and design the reinforcing.
