LimitState:GEO - Gravity Retaining Walls
Analyse and design gravity walls quickly and accurately using LimitState:GEO
- Automatically find the critical mode of failure
- Flexible wall geometry, fill geometry and load definition
- State of the art solver engine allows rapid analysis of:
- external failure (sliding, bearing, overturning, global failure)
- internal failure (shear and moment failure)
- Built in wizards for quick definition of standard problems
- Easy application of partial factors (including Eurocode 7)
- 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 gravity 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. With the ability to model unusual geometries and loadings, it is easy to check for other scenarios such as an excavation in front of the wall, as shown below:
