GEO5 Gravity Wall

The program is used to verify gravity wall design. It offers a number of wall shapes and provides verification of plain concrete cross-sections. The main features of GEO5 Gravity Wall program are:

• Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, LRFD or classical approach (limit states, the factor of safety)
• EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
• EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
• Analysis of internal stability (overturning, slip, bearing capacity of foundation soil)
• Check of concrete cross-sections according to various standards (EC 2, BS 8110, IS456, CSN, PN)
• Verification of stone masonry structures (EC 6, GB 50030-2011)
• Generally layered soil environment
• Built-in database of soil parameters
• Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
• Arbitrary number of inserted forces (anchors, safety fences, etc.)
• Modeling of water present in front and behind structures, modeling of artesian water
• Possibility to consider the general shape of gravity wall
• General shape of terrain behind the structure
• Front face resistance in front of the structure (at rest, passive, reduced passive)
• New types of the foundation below the gravity wall (strip footing, piles)
• Berms in front of the structure
• Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
• Multiple construction stages
• Tensile strength of concrete may be ignored
