GEO5 CANTILEVER WALL
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
