GEO5 GABION WALL
GEO5 Gabion Wall helps you design and analyze retaining walls in a variety of shapes, and with anchoring.
Key Features
- Easily define gabion wall shapes
- Specify surface terrain and subsurface stratigraphy in front of, behind, and beneath the gabion 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 gabion walls of varying configurations, 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 both in front of and behind the gabion wall, including artesian water conditions
- Select from a variety of pressures acting on the front of the gabion wall, including passive, reduced passive, and at rest
Analysis and Design Capabilities
- Analyze performance throughout staged construction
- Analyze anchorage of mesh reinforcements
- Analyze for effective or total earth pressure conditions
- Analyze gabion wall design based on safety factors or limit state design methodology
- Evaluate internal stability using checks for translation, overturning, and foundation soil load-bearing capacity
- Evaluate external stability of a gabion 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
