Straightforward stability analysis for gravity retaining walls
Greta analyses the stability of a gravity retaining wall and determines the bending moments and shear forces within the wall.
Taking the stress out of gravity retaining wall stability analysis
How does it work? The program requires two sets of earth pressure coefficients behind and in front of the wall; one set is used to calculate bending moments and shear forces in the stem, heel and toe of the retaining wall and the other is used to calculate the resultant force on the base.
The user must assess independently whether the resultant force on the base would be sufficient to cause a sliding, overturning or a bearing capacity failure within the soil under the toe. The program calculates a sliding resistance.
An essential addition to the desktop, Greta is used successfully on demanding projects around the world.
