FINE GEO5 ORDER FORM

This program is used to make advanced design of embedded retaining walls using the method of elasto-plastic non-linear analysis.

It allows the user to model the real structure behavior using stages of construction, to calculate the deformation and pressures acting upon the structure, to verify the internal anchor stability or to verify cross-sections (steel, RC, timber) and the bearing capacity of the anchors.

The GEO5 Sheeting Design program can be used to make basic design of the required length of the structure in soil, to calculate the internal forces on the structure or to verify cross-sections.

Main Features

• Method of elasto-plastic non-linear analysis i.e. the magnitude of pressures acting upon a structure depend on its deformation
• Variety of pre-defined types of cross-section (built-in catalogs of manufacturers):
  • Pile wall (Secant pile wall, Tangent pile wall, Contiguous pile wall)
  • Soldier pile wall (Berliner wall) - Steel cross section (I, HEB)
  • Sheet pile wall
    • Steel cross-sections 
    • Vinyl cross-sections 
  • Concrete rectangular walls (Diaphragm wall, Milano walls)
  • Steel-concrete cross-sections
  • Timber pole wall
  • Other – possibility to input own material characteristics
• Anchored, strutted and cantilevered walls supported 
• Generally layered soil environment
• Built-in database of soil parameters
• Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
• Modelling of water in front of and behind structures, modelling of artesian water
• Built-in database of anchors (catalogs of manufacturers):
  • Pre-stressed bar anchors
  • Strand anchors
  • Helical anchors
  • Anchor bars
  • Deadman anchors
• Bearing capacity of anchors (anchor strength, pull-out resistance (soil), pull-out resistance (grouting))
• Analysis of non prestressed anchors and soil nails 
• Verification of internal stability of anchors
• Various methods for the evaluation of the modulus of subsoil reaction (Schmitt, Ménard, Chadeisson)
• Automatic or manual iteration of modulus of subgrade reaction
• EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
• EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
• General shape of terrain behind the structure
• Berms in front of the structure
• Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
• Check the failure by heave and verification of failure by piping of soil
• Possibility to consider minimum dimensioning pressure
• Struts and springs can be defined
• Envelope of internal forces for individual construction stages
• The structure can be loaded by specified forces and moments
• Dimensioning of RC, steel and timber cross-sections according to various standards (EC, BS, SNiP, CSN, Chinese standards etc.)
