Gravity Wall

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 anchors
  • Modelling of water present in front and behind structures, modelling of artesian water
  • Possibility to consider the 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
  • BIM-compatible export via the IFC interface

Programs Linked Together

The program allows to transfer some data for additional verification to the following programs:

  • Slope Stability – Verification of external stability of structures
  • Spread Footing – Analysis of bearing capacity of foundation soil
  • Pile Group - Analysis of bearing capacity of pile group
  • Pile – Analysis of bearing capacity of single pile
