Gravity Wall

• Reinforced concrete with selectable wall friction angles

• Toe (valley side), also with inclination, if applicable
• Any inclination of the wall front or rear face
• Optional inclination of the base slab

Soil:

• Any number of horizontal layers
• Freely selectable soil parameters
• Separate soil layer in front of the toe

Ground surface:

• Horizontal or continuously ascending
• Any number of polygonal ground-surface sections

Groundwater:

Stagnant groundwater can optionally be defined in the form of groundwater tables at the hill and valley side of the wall.

• Any kind of ground-surface loads in the form of area loads, strip loads, block loads and line loads.
• Area loads, line loads and moment loads acting on the wall crown and the toe.
• Horizontal forces acting at a freely selectable height on the wall and the front face of the toe.
• Free assignment of loads to types of actions according to EC 0 as well as to concurrency and alternative groups.

• Application to the rear edge of the wall with freely selectable inclination angle
• Earth pressure at rest, active or any increased active earth pressure
• Optionally with minimum or compaction earth pressure
• Optional earth resistance at the front face of the toe

• Any number of design sections along the wall
• The wall can be designed either reinforced or unreinforced, a toe is always reinforced
• Durability verification via exposure classes
• Consideration of different minimum reinforcement quantities
• Optionally, different design options for the wall and the foundation/toe

• Simplified verification with base pressure resistances (either user-defined or taken from tables of DIN 1045)
• Verifications based on the accurate calculation method optionally available
  • Overturning (with earth resistance share in %, if applicable)
  • Sliding (with earth resistance share in %, if applicable)
  • Ground failure (with earth resistance share in %, if applicable)
• Optional embankment failure analysis with slip circles
• Optional settlement verification
• Serviceability via the verification of the gaping joint

• Decisive base pressure distribution for the design of the toe or heel and the foundation
• Internal forces behaviour inside the wall
• Verification of the resistance to bending and shear force in the ULS with output of the required reinforcement for the wall (at any number of points) and for the toe/heel (contact face)

• Overview of decisive load case combinations and the results of each verification in the persistent design situation
• Tabular and graphical output of the selected earth pressure and water pressure distributions
• Geotechnical verifications in the ULS (overturning, sliding, ground failure, embankment failure, simplified with base pressure)
• Geotechnical verifications in the SLS (first and second core range, settlements, and torsion)
