SkyCiv Retaining Wall Software | SkyCiv Engineering (original) (raw)
SkyCiv Retaining Wall Design Software
Concrete retaining wall design software for gravity and cantilever walls, including American, European and Australian Design
Retaining Wall Design Software
The Retaining Wall Design Software helps engineers design Cantilever and Gravity retaining walls and is suitable for the calculation of block or concrete walls. The software includes calculations for overturning, sliding, and bearing utilization ratios. Once a design has been executed, a PDF design report can be generated to show the detailed calculations steps and references followed to achieve the results.
Various components of the retaining system can be calculated including the retaining wall stem, the concrete retaining wall footing, and the soil layers on both sides of the wall.

Retaining wall calculations
SkyCiv Retaining Wall module calculates a number of stability checks and calculations to help complete the typical design of retaining walls.
- Overturning Calculations - To ensure the wall is no susceptible to tipping over
- Sliding Calculations - To ensure the wall will not slide due to lateral earth pressure
- Bearing Calculations - To ensure the ground beneath can support the structure
- Soils: Passive/Active/Substructure, inclined soils, multi-layered soil
- Stem/Structure: Stem (including tapered), Base Input, Keys
- Loading: Supports line, patch, and uniform loading
- Clear and easy capacity and Factor of Safety calculations
- Detailed PDF Reporting
Design capabilities
SkyCiv Retaining Wall design includes built-in Design Checks for the following design standards:
- American: ACI 318
- Australian: AS 3600
- European: Eurocode 2
With design checks for the Stem, Toe, Heel and Shear Keys, your design checks are comprehensive and detailed in our design reports. Checks include strength checks for bending, shear due to earth/soil pressures and super imposed loads.
Full calculation reports
Structural engineers should have access to the calculations the software is performing. SkyCiv Retaining Wall Design reports show the full step-by-step calculations that structural engineers can review:
- References to relevant chapters, checks, and assumptions for all calculations to ACI SP-17
- Custom Company logo and model setup information
- Detailed calculations of soil analysis
- Relevant assumptions and failure criteria
- Clear pass/fail summary results
