Sheeting Design

This program is used to quickly design non-anchored walls and to make a basic design of anchored retaining walls (Sheet pile, Soldier pile, Diaphragm and Pile walls). The results show the required embedment lengths, the internal forces on the structure and the forces in anchors. The program provides verification of RC, steel or timber cross sections.

Advanced analysis of multiplied anchored walls (including displacement of structure) can be performed using the program GEO5 Sheeting Check (elasto-plastic nonlinear method).

Main Features

  • 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)
    • Concrete rectangular walls (Diaphragm wall, Milano walls)
    • Steel-concrete cross-sections
    • Timber pole wall
    • Other – possibility to input own material characteristics
  • Redistribution of pressures - EAB, LRFD
  • Increased active pressure and pressure at rest
  • Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
  • Possibility to consider minimum dimensioning pressure
  • Generally layered soil environment
  • Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, LRFD or classical approach (limit states, 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
  • 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
  • General shape of terrain behind the structure
  • Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
  • Multiple levels of struts
  • Application of specified forces and moments
  • Dimensioning of RC, steel and timber cross-sections according to various standards (EC, BS, SNiP, CSN, Chinese standards etc.)
