RetainPro helps civil and structural engineers save time and improve accuracy when designing and analysing earth retention structures. This is one the popularly used software for analysis of all types of retaining wall.(Soldier pile wall, gabion wall, cantilevered wall, segmental wall).
You can easily and accurately design and analyse nearly any cantilevered or restrained retaining wall, concrete or masonry, with just about any configuration and loading condition. Segmental retaining walls too.

Key Features of Retainpro:
Quickly and easily analyzes and designs nearly any retaining wall, concrete or masonry, or combination of both, cantilevered or restrained. Gravity walls, segmental walls (SRWs) with or without geogrids (MSE). Segmental Retaining Wall module was completely revised in 2019. SRW module supports calculations from NCMA Design Manual for Segmental Retaining Walls - 3rd Edition. Most 3rd edition failure modes are supported. Calculations offer both seismic and non-seismic conditions. Additional factors of safety are supported - including designer control over minimum acceptable factors (or use standard values). More internal values are provided for back-checking and review. Loading conditions include axial, surcharges, adjacent footings, impact, wind, seismic (due to earth pressure and/or self-weight). Stem can be divided and stepped for up to five changes in thickness, material, and reinforcing. |
Design for wind on projecting portion of stem, and/or wind on a weightless fence on top of the wall. Create an AutoCAD DXF file for most wall types, importing a fully dimensioned drawing into your CAD program (AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, QuickCAD, and most others), requiring only minor further editing. Input active/passive pressures using Equivalent Fluid Pressure method, or select Coulomb method and enter angle of internal friction, and RetainPro automatically calculates active and passive pressures.
Many designer-decision options, such as use of vertical component of active pressure for overturning or sliding or soil pressure reduction, presence of slab at base to resist sliding, use of cohesion instead of friction to resist sliding, and others.Computes rebar lap and development lengths in each stem design segment, including required dowel embedment into footing. Automatic sizing of footings with no restriction on offsets either side. Detailed, concise, calculation printout, with graphics. Graphics displays construction drawing of your design and loading diagram to check your input/output. |
