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
Features
Read full description

This application includes two major calculation steps and provide you a comprehensive calculation report in PDF and in DXF(Autocad): - Stability evaluation which includes the overturning, bearing, and sliding failure modes. - Designing the different components of Retaining Wall: stem, heel, toe and key, for bending and shear, under the combined factored loads. Results: - Check stability Verticals and Laterals forces. - Graphic display of forces and pressures acting upon the wall. - Establish Stem, Heel, Toe and Key thickness by Verifying shear & moment. - Bearing Capacity Verification. - Graphic plot moment and shear diagrams to optimize reinforcing bars. - Graphic plot for required flexural reinforcement to optimize reinforcing bars. - Complete stability analysis for overturning, sliding, and bearing. - Graphic plot of Nominal Moment. - Graphic plot Stress diagrams. - Graphic plot Neutral axes diagrams. - Graphic plot for wall elevation with Cutoff Location in Tension side. - Concrete design of stem, toe, heel, and key. - Graphic plot for reinforcement distribution - Ability to create a DXF file containing the reinforcement in details - Create a comprehensive calculation report containing all calculation details

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Concrete Engineering at $3.99 against Cantilever Retaining Wall's $14.99. Concrete Engineering also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1). Cantilever Retaining Wall's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 23 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
