This program is used for verification of mechanically stabilized earth walls and segmental retaining walls reinforced by geogrids (georeinforcements). The main features of GEO5 MSE Wall program are:
- Built-in database of available georeinforcement (geogrids) – Fortrac, Tensar, Miragrid, KB-grid, Acegrid, Secugrid, Enkagrid, Paralink, Paragrid etc.
- Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, LRFD or classical approach (limit states, factor of safety)
- Verification of fictitious wall against slip and overturning
- Verification of slip and overturning of arbitrary part of the wall (dimensioning)
- Verification of bearing capacity of foundation soil
- Verification of slip on georeinforcement
- Verification of internal stability
- for extensible reinforcements
- Standard - straight slip surface
- AASHTO – Extensible
- FHWA NHI-10-024
- for inextensible reinforcements
- AASHTO – Inextensible
- JTGD30 - 2004 Highway China Code
- TB 10025 Railway China Code
- BS 8006 - Coherent Gravity Method
- Verification of global stability at circular slip surface (Bishop, Spencer) incl. optimization
- Automatic generation of reinforcement position
- Various kinds of slopes: prefabricated blocks at the front face of the wall, simple slope or slope with berms (including optional cover)
- Generally layered soil environment
- Built-in database of soil parameters
- Multiple construction stages
- Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load)
- Arbitrary number of inserted forces (anchors, safety fences, etc.)
- Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards, NCMA – SRW)
