The program is used for design and analysis of variety of retaining structures such as anchored retaining wall and sheet pile retaining wall. It provides required sheet pile embedment lengths (for fixed and hinged toes), bending moments, internal forces and forces in anchors.
Final analysis of multiplied anchored walls should be provided by GEO5 Sheeting Check program (elastoplastic nonlinear method). Sheet pile design provides only preliminary analysis.
Main Features
- • Analysis according to the theory of limit states and safety factor
- • 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
- • Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
- • Modelling of water in front of and behind structures, modelling of artesian water
- • General shape of terrain behind the structure
