GEO5 PREFAB WALL
GEO5 Prefab Wall provides you tools to design, analyze and verify prefabricated block retaining walls. During any stage of construction, you can quickly and accurately evaluate a range of critical parameters—such as dimensioning—to prevent overturning and slip.
Key Features
- Easily define prefabricated block specifications and wall geometry
- Specify surface terrain and subsurface stratigraphy in front of, behind, and beneath the prefabricated 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 prefabricated 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 prefab wall performance
- Model water conditions both in front of and behind the prefabricated wall, including artesian water conditions
- Select from a variety of pressures acting on the front of the prefabricated wall, including passive, reduced passive, and at rest
Analysis and Design Capabilities
- Analyze performance throughout staged construction
- Analyze anchorage of reinforced materials
- Analyze for effective or total earth pressure conditions
- Analyze prefabricated 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 prefabricated 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
