Introducing RSWall: The Comprehensive Retaining Wall Design Software
Addressing the Complexities of Retaining Wall Design with RSWall
Engineers face a unique set of challenges when designing retaining walls. These structures must withstand soil pressures, varying groundwater conditions, seismic forces, and strict regulatory requirements while optimizing material use and construction costs.
RSWall, our latest innovation, simplifies and enhances the retaining wall design process. Whether working with mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, gravity walls, cantilevered concrete walls, gabion walls or abutments, engineers can rely on RSWall for comprehensive stability analysis, failure mode evaluation, and seamless integration with industry standards. By providing a streamlined workflow, RSWall empowers engineers to design safer, more efficient retaining walls with confidence.
Key Features of RSWall
1. Comprehensive Retaining Wall Design
RSWall allows engineers to design and evaluate a variety of retaining wall types:
- Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls
- Segmental Walls (Reinforced and unreinforced)
- Gravity Walls and Cantilevered Concrete Walls
- Gabion Walls
- Abutments
Unlike many competitor products that require engineers to use separate programs for different retaining wall types, RSWall provides a unified platform for analyzing all major types of retaining walls in one comprehensive tool.
2. Streamlined and Efficient Design Process
RSWall follows a logical workflow to ensure efficient and optimized retaining wall design:
- Site Assessment – Analyze soil conditions and project requirements.
- Conceptual Design – Define geometry, materials, and reinforcement.
- Engineering Analysis – Compute forces, resistance, and factors of safety.
- Load Scenario Testing – Evaluate seismic and groundwater impact.
- Automated Report Generation – Generate PDF reports with full hand calculations.
3. Compliance with Global Design Standards
RSWall supports the following design standards:
- AASHTO and FHWA
- NCMA
- Australian Standard
- British Standard
- Eurocode 7
- User-defined
4. Advanced Failure Mode Analysis
RSWall covers:
- Internal analysis (internal sliding and crest toppling)
- External analysis (sliding, overturning and bearing)
- Reinforcement failures (pullout, tensile strength and connection strength)
