GEO5 CANTILEVER WALL

Buy GEO5 Now

GEO5 Cantilever Wall lets you design and evaluate cantilever retaining walls, including verification of slope stability and reinforcement check at critical cross-sections.

 

Key Features

  • Select from a variety of predefined cantilever shapes
  • Specify surface terrain and subsurface stratigraphy in front of, behind, and beneath the cantilever wall
  • Define soil layers with different properties using either project-specific data or the built-in soil parameters database of common soil types (USCS)
  • Import soil parameters from gINT
  • Apply an unlimited number of surcharge loads to the cantilever wall, including trapezoidal, strip, and concentrated load distributions
  • Apply an unlimited number of equivalent external forces for earth anchors, safety fences, etc., to evaluate their influences on system performance
  • Model water conditions in front of and behind cantilever structures, including artesian water conditions
  • Select from a variety of pressures acting on the front of the cantilever structure, including passive, reduced passive, and at rest
 

Analysis and Design Capabilities

  • Analyze performance throughout staged construction
  • Evaluate design of construction joints and shear keys
  • Check reinforced concrete cross section design against a variety of industry design codes
  • Analyze for effective or total earth pressure conditions
  • Analyze cantilever wall design based on safety factors and limit state design methodology
  • Evaluate internal stability using checks for translation, overturning, and foundation soil load-bearing capacity
  • Evaluate external stability of a cantilever wall using GEO5 Slope Stability
  • Evaluate bearing capacity of soil supporting the foundation using GEO5 Spread Footing
  • Analyze for earthquake effects, including Mononobe-Okabe and Arrango methods
