LimitState:GEO - Reinforced Soil Analysis
Analyse and design reinforced soil problems quickly and accurately using LimitState:GEO
- Automatically find the critical mode of failure
- Flexible wall/reinforcement geometry, fill geometry and load definition
- Reinforcement/soil interaction modelled in a fully general way, using the same principles as the tie-back wedge method
- State of the art solver engine allows rapid analysis of:
- External failure (sliding, bearing, overturning, global failure)
- Internal failure (eg. internal wedge failure, reinforcement pullout)
- Verified against standard solutions
- Comprehensive report output
The software can also be applied to many other problem types. Find out more about the benefits of using LimitState:GEO.
Understand More
As an engineer you will be aware that apparently similar structures can fail in many different ways. Although several common reinforced soil wall failure modes are presented below, LimitState:GEO automatically searches all possible failure modes every time you solve. This means that you can be confident that the critical case has been identified.
Check for all the following potential gabion wall failure modes, and many more, with just one click:
