Retaining wall analysis & design (EN1992/EN1996/EN1997)
Significantly enhanced in Tedds 2023 to include the following new features and improvements:
-
Specify custom load combinations which allow the analysis part of the calculation to be used for other design codes.
-
Include the restoring effect of surcharge loading in the stability calculations.
-
Include or exclude active pressures on the key in the stability calculations.
-
Include or exclude passive pressures of the soil in the stability calculations.
-
View the analysis model from within the user interface to provide transparency on how the analysis model is configured.
-
Option to specify mesh reinforcement in the stem and base rather than just loose bar reinforcement.
-
Added an additional check for a masonry reinforced wall to check the shear resistance of the concrete alone if the masonry shear check fails.
-
Added the shear enhancement in Annex J for masonry retaining walls so that a wall has a greater chance of passing the shear check (not applicable for the Finland national annex).
-
Enhanced to include a Calc API so the calculation can be used in automation scenarios including the option to completely disable the user interface.
-
The batch design has also been updated to include a Retaining wall stability analysis example.
