GEO5 Prefab Wall

This program is used to verify retaining walls made of prefabricated blocks (retaining block walls). The main features of the GEO5 Prefab 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
• Internal stability analysis (overturning, slip, load-bearing capacity of foundation soil)
• Possibility to define any specific size of the block (part of the wall)
• 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 in front of and behind structures, modeling of artesian water
• 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 prefab wall (strip footing, piles)
• Berms in front of the structure
• Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
• Possibility to consider minimum dimensioning pressure
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
• Supports mesh overhangs with anchorage
• Multiple construction stages
• Dimensioning (check for overturning stability and slip)
