For a designer to do a complete design of a gravity retaining wall or a geogrid reinforced retaining wall, they will spend great deal of time doing repetitive calculations. Once the design is determined, they must generate several detailed construction documents to ensure what they have designed is accurately communicated to the persons building the wall.
The program can operate as an analysis tool and check a design created by the user, or it can function as a design tool and determine the reinforcement necessary to create a stable wall. This obviously makes the program and the design of the wall an interactive process
The program guides the user through the design in an orderly step by step manner.
The designer is required to make decisions about their design throughout the entire process. This allows the user to review the profile design, panel layout, cross section parameters, geogrid placement (if required) and the calculated factors of safety. The designer participates in the design of every panel, but the program will do all the time-consuming calculations.When a wall designs fails to meet the required standards, the program provides hints and several options which can bring the wall up to the required standards.
When the program is used as an analysis tool it will identify user designs that will not meet the required standards and may possibly not even be stable. At least the program will save you time and money before you start to build.
