Cantilever Retaining Wall
This app assists in the design and analysis of cantilever retaining walls. It performs stability evaluations for overturning, bearing, and sliding, and designs wall components for bending and shear. Comprehensive reports are generated in PDF and DXF formats.
- Stability evaluation (overturning, bearing, sliding)
- Component design (stem, heel, toe, key)
- Bending and shear calculations
- PDF and DXF report generation
- Graphic display of forces and diagrams
- Reinforcement optimization

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Column Construction Calculator at $1.99 against Cantilever Retaining Wall's $14.99. Cantilever Retaining Wall's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 38 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
