About

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.

Highlights
  • 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
