GEO5 Gabion Featured

The GEO5 Gabion program is used to verify the design of walls built from wired baskets filled with rock (gabions). It allows the analysis of arbitrary shapes including overhangs requiring anchoring. The main features of GEO5 Gabion program are:

• Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, LRFD or classical approach (limit states, the factor of safety)
• EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
• EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
• Internal stability analysis (overturning, slip, bearing capacity of foundation soil)
• Generally layered soil environment
• Built-in database of soil parameters
• Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
• Arbitrary number of inserted forces (anchors, safety fences, etc.)
• Modelling of water in front of and behind structures, modeling of artesian water
• Check of gabion material (rock)
• General shape of terrain behind the structure
• Front face resistance in front of the structure (at rest, passive, reduced passive)
• New types of the foundation below the gabion wall (strip footing, piles)
• Berms in front of the structure
• Analysis of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
• Possibility to consider minimum dimensioning pressure
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards)
• Supports mesh overhangs with anchorage
• Multiple construction stages
