Gravity Wall

This program is used for design of gravity retaining walls. It offers a range of wall shapes and verifies mass concrete cross-sections.



Main Features


  • 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;
  • Analysis of internal stability (overturning, slip, bearing capacity of foundation soil);
  • Check of concrete cross-sections according to various standards (EC 2, BS 8110, IS456, CSN, PN);
  • Verification of stone masonry structures (EC 6, GB 50030-2011);
  • 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.);
  • Modelling of anchors;
  • Modelling of water in front and behind structures, modelling of artesian water;
  • Possibility to consider the general shape of gravity wall;
  • General shape of terrain behind the structure;
  • Front face resistance in front of the structure (at rest, passive, reduced passive);
  • New types of foundation below the gravity wall (strip footing, piles);
  • Berms in front of the structure;
  • Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters;
  • Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards);
  • Multiple construction stages;
  • Tensile strength of concrete may be ignored;
  • BIM-compatible export via the IFC interface;

Programs Linked Together


The program allows to transfer some data for additional verification to the following programs:

  • Slope Stability – Verification of external stability of structures
  • Spread Footing – Analysis of bearing capacity of foundation soil
  • Pile Group – Analysis of bearing capacity of pile group
  • Pile – Analysis of bearing capacity of single pile
