A complete retaining wall design analyzes wall stability and Global Stability. One of our recommended software programs for global stability is Gslope!
GSLOPE allows geotechnical engineers to carry out limit equilibrium slope stability analysis of existing natural slopes, unreinforced man-made slopes, or slopes with soil reinforcement. The program uses Bishop’s Modified method and Janbu’s Simplified method. GSLOPE allows either method to be applied to circular, composite, and non-circular surfaces.
The Retaining Wall Expert Estimating (RWE Software) is what the pros use to make sure they are accurately and efficiently bidding their projects. Program is used in combination with www.EngineerOnStaff.com, where there are over 7,000 preliminary retaining wall cross sections at your fingertips! This video shows just how FAST & SIMPLE the RWE Software is.
On July 29, 2008 the Kentucky Board of Engineers and Land Surveyors issued a letter to all Kentucky Governmental Agencies and Organizations outlining concerns over Landscape Architects performing engineering design services on segmental retaining walls.
*The Kentucky Board of Licensure for Landscape Architects has posted a rebuttal to this letter. We will post their rebuttal (and our opinions on this issue) shortly ... stay tuned.
