Retaining Wall Software

The characteristics of the program RetWall are presented below.

The program is very easy to use, and will not expire (will work indefinitely -- except the demo versions, of course).

It will work under all versions of Windows (but not DOS, UNIX, etc.).

Features:

  • All standard checks performed (overturning, sliding, base pressures, bearing capacity),
  • Simple, but general enough geometry,
  • Any consistent unit system can be used,
  • Very easy to learn and to use,
  • All data in one screen, all output in another window,
  • Cross section plotted and refreshed automatically,
  • Both section plot and results can be printed.

You can see the computer screen views here:
